This Week in Food News: Vegan Ramen Hits Whole Foods, Oatly Banned From Using Word 'Milk,' and a New Snack  From Bitchin' Sauce

VegNews • Feb 13, 2026
This week in food news, vegan options are expanding with Bitchin' Sauce launching chips perfect for dipping in their signature sauces, Crafty Counter offering build-your-own ramen at Whole Foods with vegan hard-boiled eggs, Kettle introducing two new spicy vegan chip flavors, and RIND launching spreadable vegan brie made with cultured cashews and tofu. However, Oatly faced a setback in the UK where they are no longer allowed to use the word "milk" in their marketing due to a ruling from the Supreme Court, following a legal battle with Dairy UK.

In other news, after 24 years of operation, iconic vegan restaurant Red Bamboo in New York's Greenwich Village is closing its doors. The restaurant, known for its plant-based comfort food interpretations of classic dishes, is struggling due to the pandemic, with rising rents and costly repairs. Fans are encouraged to support Red Bamboo through purchasing merchandise or contributing to their GoFundMe page to help keep the vegan community thriving.
