Mondelēz International has launched a new plant-based variation of its Philadelphia cheese in the UK. Philadelphia Plant Based features a blend of oats and almonds, which Mondelēz says “creates the creaminess of Philadelphia without the dairy”. The soft cheese alternative – which is said to have been two years in the making – comes in recyclable packaging and is available exclusively through Tesco. Louise Stigant, UK managing director of Mondelēz International, said: “We’ve worked hard to make sure new Philadelphia Plant Based really delivers the same great taste and creaminess that people love and expect from Philadelphia, and we’re delighted that there’s now a Philadelphia product for everyone”.
