Veganz launches in Australia and is now available at Woolworths

Veganz is a leading brand for plant-based food products from Berlin Germany who has now landed in Australia. The company who have been incredibly successful in Europe have now released their product into the ever-growing Australian market.  Veganz was founded 10 years ago by Jan Bredack who was elected as
‘Person of the Year’ by PETA Germany in 2014. 

Veganz in Australia

The brand has partnered with Woolworths and the Vegan Grocery Store in Sydney & Melbourne to start offering their top-selling vegan pizza in Australia.

From this month, the Veganz Pizza Verdura will be sold in 180 Woolworths stores across Victoria & New South Wales initially.
The purely plant-based brand has already established itself as one of the most popular vegan frozen pizza brands in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and they will no doubt be a huge hit here in Australia.

Studies have found that around 2% of the Australian population followed a vegan diet in 2019 and around 12% were vegetarian. A Google Trends analysis by the Australian food blog Chef’s Pencil has also shown that Australia is the world’s second most popular country for vegans after the UK.

Almost 9% of new products in Australia are vegan and do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. One of the main reasons for a vegan or vegetarian diet is climate consciousness and Veganz is addressing this issue across the board with its hand-topped, environmentally-friendly pizzas.
