Kerry unveils vegan cheese slices for foodservice

Kerry is expanding its Kerrymaid foodservice offering with the introduction of a new plant-based cheese product.

Aimed solely at professional kitchens, Perfect Melt Vegan Slices are said to taste, look and melt like real cheese.

Designed for use on hot applications, such as burgers and sandwiches, the new offering is gluten- and palm oil-free, and made from sustainable coconut oil.

Deirdre Smyth, VP global RDA integrated technology systems at Kerry, said: “Kerry’s dairy heritage along with our processing capabilities and technical expertise means we’re uniquely placed to create a product which provides the great taste, texture, melt and structure that people associate with a dairy processed cheese slice.

“We want to help our customers ease into vegan and grow their revenue by offering a wide range of products to suit everyone’s needs.”

Kerrymaid’s Vegan Slices will be available across the UK and Europe in packs of 56 easy-peel slices.
