Malak Al Tawouk Partners With Switch Foods to Launch Plant-Based Chicken Menu Items in the UAE

Malak Al Tawouk has partnered with Switch Foods to introduce a new line of plant-based chicken menu items in the UAE. These include a Chicken Shawarma Sandwich, Mexican Chicken Salad, and Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl, and are available at all Malak Al Tawouk locations as well as online through various platforms. The restaurant chain aims to cater to evolving consumer preferences, offering a meat-free option that delivers on taste and quality.

Switch Foods' plant-based chicken is made from pea protein and is free of gluten, soy, and major allergens. The company's production site in Abu Dhabi opened in May 2023, and its product range has since launched at retailers and food service outlets in the UAE. This partnership reflects a commitment to making plant-based eating accessible and rooted in regional culinary culture, providing alternatives for health-conscious consumers and those looking to reduce meat consumption in the Middle East.
