Abu Dhabi Foodies Can Now Feast On Locally Made Plant-Based Kebabs, Koftas & Soujouks

Switch Foods has opened Abu Dhabi's first plant-based meat manufacturing facility, offering vegan kebabs, minced meat, and burger patties at retailers across the city. The facility comes as part of UAE's Year of Sustainability, promoting plant-based foods, and in preparation for hosting the UN climate summit COP28, which will serve mostly vegan food. Switch's products are allergen-friendly, halal-certified, and available at various retailers and online platforms in Abu Dhabi.

The launch of Switch Foods is in line with the growing trend of plant-based eating in the UAE, with 44% of residents open to substituting meat and dairy with vegan alternatives. The country has seen an influx of overseas plant-based producers entering the market, reflecting the increasing demand for sustainable and locally produced food options in the region.
