Simplot’s GM of marketing, Katie Saunders, said: “Our favourite dishes have the power to ignite rich emotion and memories — whether it’s mum’s spag bol recipe, the crowd-pleasing burger rolled out when friends come over, or your favourite san choy bau. Our new plant- based range and ‘Future of Favourites’ campaign shows that plant-based eating does not need to be about compromise, and you can still enjoy all your favourite dishes with a simple switch.”
“While the range is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, at Birds Eye we wanted to help all Aussies understand how easily plant-based alternatives are to introduce into your meals, with no compromise on flavour,” Saunders added.
