Plant-based food brand Squeaky Bean has launched two ready-to-eat flatbreads as well as a new addition to its plant-based kebab meat portfolio. The flatbreads include a Jerk Chicken Style Folded Flatbread and a Madras Chicken Style Folded Flatbread and are ready-to-eat and microwaveable. The expansion of Squeaky Bean's kebab range will introduce its Turkish Kofta Style Kebab which "perfectly replicates the popular Byzantine street food" and is high in protein and ideal for snacking. Sarah Augustine, brand manager at Squeaky Bean, commented: "Squeaky Bean has built up a loyal fanbase with big flavours that our consumers really crave. Instantly tasty, our ready-to-eat meat alternatives are perfect for lunchtimes in epic sandwiches, wraps and pittas. Most importantly they hit the spot for those essential snacking fridge to face moments." She continued: "So, it made complete sense for us to take the hard work away and create a finished product that is delicious straight out of the pack and only takes a quick ping in the microwave, whether you’re at home or in the office". The flatbread duo and kofta kebab are available in Tesco in 150g packs for an RRP of £2.00 and 160g packs for an RRP of £3.00, respectively.
