- FLORA Plant behaves just like dairy cream – ideal for cooking, pouring and whipping
- Suitable for savoury and sweet recipes
- Caters to everyone – Vegan, Dairy-Free, and Gluten-Free
FLORA, the UK’s number one spread brand[1], is helping Chefs cater to increasingly complex consumer diets with the launch of FLORA Plant. The newest addition to the Upfield portfolio performs like dairy cream – perfect for cooking, pouring and even whipping – delivering richness to every dish, but without the dairy.
Last year, demand for plant-based diets increased by a staggering 300%[2]. Nearly half (45%) of consumers say that plant-based dining options are a factor in the selection of a venue[3].
Alan Black, Head of Marketing, Upfield Professional comments: “FLORA Plant is a game-changer for the foodservice industry. Not only does it cater to those following a vegan diet, FLORA Plant helps chefs overcome the challenge of managing allergens, which if not handled extremely carefully, can lead to a loss in customers, or even worse, criminal prosecution.
“At Upfield, we create great-tasting plant-based foods – and FLORA Plant is no different. It can be enjoyed by vegans and dairy cream lovers alike. We believe following a vegan diet, or a diet that requires the removal of specific allergens shouldn’t mean compromising on taste, and with FLORA Plant, operators know they can serve delicious dairy-free dishes to all consumers with total confidence.”
