The supermarket chain Carrefour is to begin selling a 鈥榲egan butcher鈥� range of plant-based products that are designed to imitate the cuts of meat normally found at a traditional butcher鈥檚 shop.
Carrefour will be putting its vegan substitute meat offering, which it claims to be a first in France, on sale at its in-store butcher counters.
The products on offer will be from the Vegetarian Butcher brand, which was founded in 2010 and bought by Unilever in 2018.
Its plant-based foods are particularly popular in Belgium and the Netherlands.
Carrefour will begin by offering four meat substitute products: soy-based mince at 鈧�13.90 per kilo, and soy-based 鈥榗hicken鈥� breaded nuggets, chicken-style chunks and veggie burger patties at 鈧�12.90 per kilo.
If the products prove popular, Carrefour says it may expand the range.
