Vegan and Dairy-Free consumers can now enjoy Kara’s, the foodservice specialists of the Finsbury Food Group, brioche-style bun. Available for purchase now, the buns have been made to give operators a premium bread option that can be enjoyed by a wider remit of diners.
The taste for brioche has been growing amongst consumers over the past year, with the interest in bread increasing by 100% since last year, and Kara knew there was already a hungry market for the sandwich carrier. In order to satisfy the still-growing rise of veganism amongst consumers, Kara decided to grow its offering to suit consumers who couldn’t enjoy a classic brioche bun due to their dietary needs.
“After witnessing a rise in both veganism and interest in brioche amongst different diners, we knew we had to begin offering an option that could hit both markets with a product that satisfies the need for brioche whilst suiting the vegan lifestyle. This brioche-style bun still delivers all the flavours of a classic brioche but is a more inclusive premium burger carrier perfect for both vegan and non-vegan diners,” commented Danielle Meehan, Foodservice NPD Manager.
The brioche-style bun from Kara substitutes the egg glaze and butter contents and replaces them with dairy-free alternatives. Despite these changes to the historic recipe, the buns do not compromise on flavour, colour or texture and can be enjoyed by both vegan, dairy-free and non-vegan diners.
