Squeaky Bean debuts plant-based ingredients range for frozen aisles

Squeaky Bean is launching its first frozen ingredients range featuring the plant-based brand’s tasty meat alternative pieces.

Rolling into stores for Veganuary, the Seasoned Chicken Style Pieces and Steak Style Strips have been designed to cater for the growing number of meat-free shoppers looking for quick and versatile frozen products (source/ Vypr Dec 2023). Both ingredients cook straight from frozen in three minutes, according to Squeaky Bean.

Squeaky Bean’s Steak Style Strips have been created to fill a gap in the meat-free category for premium frozen steak alternatives and perfectly mimic the taste and texture of beef steak, making them an ideal ingredient for plant-based tacos or stir fries.

The new Squeaky Bean Seasoned Chicken Style Pieces are seasoned with an expertly balanced blend of salt and pepper. They are made with wheat and pea protein, and  both products are 100% vegan, high in protein and low in saturated fat.

Squeaky Bean Seasoned Chicken Style Pieces and Squeaky Bean Steak Style Strips are available in Waitrose.

Becky Youseman, marketing controller at Squeaky Bean, which is part of The Compleat Food Group, said the brand is well versed in creating plant-based options that deliver flavour and texture.

“We’re always looking at how we can help consumers to make easy plant-based swaps into their diet without changing their habits, which is where our new range of frozen ingredients come in,” Youseman added. “We regularly hear from our Squeaky fans about how they want to cook with our products, and our latest range offers an easy and convenient way to create plant-based dishes with no compromise on taste and texture.”

Youseman said the release is the start of a very exciting year for Squeaky Bean as it continues in its goal to shake up the plant-based category, with a pipeline of impressive innovation set to launch in 2024.
