Retailer Aldi has expanded its own-label Plant Menu range for Veganuary, offering a wide range of new meat and dairy alternatives.

A new Kimchi Kofta product taps into the trend for gut-friendly, fermented foods, while the Tempura Frickles feature deep-fried gherkin chips encased in a golden tempura batter and paired with a dill mayo.

Also brand new for 2025 is Aldi’s Plant Based Egg, a liquid whole egg replacer designed for convenience. It can be used for baking, scrambling or making omelettes in minutes and is suitable for cooking in the oven, pan or microwave. It also contains added vitamin D and B12.

Further tapping into the demand for convenient products, Aldi has unveiled a range of meal kits including the Keema No Beef Meal Kit, which contains vegan mince marinated in coriander, cumin and turmeric, with a garlic and coriander naan bread. Also available in the range is the BBQ No Pork Meal Kit and the Pulled Hoisin No Duck Meal Kit.

High-protein options include the Gut Health No Chicken Smash Burgers, suitable for pan frying, grilling or air frying. A Tex Mex flavour, crafted with tomato salsa, black bean and green jalapenos, is available alongside a BBQ flavour made with Korean seasoning, and a classic Chargrilled option.

Meanwhile, the No Chicken & Black Pepper sausages and Salt & Pepper No Chicken Kebabs provide additional high-protein and fibre-rich alt-meat options.

In the cheese section, a new Baking Bert product offers a Camembert-style alternative that can be enjoyed hot or cold, while the Soft Spread with Garlic & Herbs can be enjoyed on toast, paired with vegetables or as a dip. The retailer said its new cheese offerings are perfect for enjoying as part of a vegan savoury board, with its brand-new charcuterie-style Peppered No Salami, No Pepperoni and No Chorizo slices.

Aldi’s Veganuary range is available in-store now.
