Aldi UK has reintroduced its popular vegan smashed pork burgers and also launched a new chicken version, both part of the Plant Menu range. The burgers are designed to be cooked to develop a crispy crust and enhanced flavor, perfect for a double sausage muffin or breakfast burger. The No Pork burgers offer 5.5g of protein and 80 calories per patty, while the No Chicken burgers contain 6g of protein and 87 calories per patty.

These vegan offerings from Aldi are part of a growing trend in the UK for plant-based options, with Tesco reporting an increase in sales of plant-based foods, particularly those high in protein like tofu and seitan. Aldi's range also includes vegan croissants, pepperoni pizza, and other high-protein options. The smashed burger patties are priced at £1.99 for a 4-pack and are gluten-free, available at Aldi stores nationwide.
