What is Veganuary?

Veganuary is a month-long commitment to eating vegan foods, combining the words ‘vegan’ and ‘January’. A vegan diet excludes all animal products, instead focusing on plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, and pulses. Thinking of taking the challenge? Make sure you’re consuming all the nutrients you need for a balanced diet before starting.

Best foods to try in Veganuary

Whether you’re going vegan, avoiding meat and dairy or simply enjoying more plant-based foods, our Plant Kitchen range means you’ll never have to compromise on taste. Expertly developed by our chefs, every product is rigorously benchmarked to taste just as good or even better than its meat or dairy counterpart.

Find Vegan Options with Plant Kitchen at M&S Food

We’ve made some changes to our Plant Kitchen range. While the range remains, we’ve adjusted where you’ll find some of the products in-store. Rather than a dedicated Plant Kitchen section, our chilled vegan products are now placed alongside their meat and dairy alternatives.

So, you’ll find a Plant Kitchen pie in the pie section and Plant Kitchen pizza in the pizza section of the Foodhall. This change means more customers – whether vegan or not – will come across our delicious plant-based options and be tempted to give them a try. You can still find our store cupboard products and sandwiches in their usual spots.

To find Plant Kitchen in the Foodhall, just look for the full Plant Kitchen branding or the Plant Kitchen stamp.
