Nestlé To Add Plant-Based Egg, Shrimp On Menu

Nestlé is launching plant-based substitutes for egg and shrimp that closely mirror the taste, nutrition and performance of the originals, the food group has said, extending its range in the fast growing vegan market.

The egg substitute, branded Garden Gourmet vEGGie in Europe, contains soy protein and omega-3 fatty acids. It can be scrambled or used in a frittata or as an ingredient in cakes and cookies, Nestlé said.

The vegan shrimp, called Vrimp, follows the launch of its tuna substitute last year.
