BERLIN, Mar. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Veganz, a full-range supplier of vegan foods and the market leader in branded 
vegan pizzas, is expanding to Australia. From today, the Veganz Pizza Verdura 
will be sold in 180 Woolworths stores. Initially, the veggie bestseller is 
available in New South Wales and Victoria. The purely plant-based 
environmentalists have already established themselves as the most popular vegan 
frozen pizza brand in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Now their tasty 
delights are set to revolutionise the Australian market!

The demand for vegan products is increasing.

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. Veganz addresses this issue across the board with its 
hand-topped, environmentally-friendly pizzas.

Laying all the facts on the table – purely plant-based Veganz pizza with a 
sustainability score

Italian in taste, vegan in recipe and sustainable in terms of agriculture, 
production, packaging and transport – the Veganz pizzas easily meet all the 
criteria and combine transparency, conscious consumption and authentic 
enjoyment.

With the Eaternity label [ 
https://veganz.com/blog/all-the-facts-on-the-table-the-eco-balance-of-our-products/ 
], Veganz is setting a new industry standard for sustainability and 
transparency. Thanks to the sustainability score, the carbon footprint, water 
consumption, rainforest deforestation and animal welfare are all visible 
directly on the product. This shows consumers the actual resource consumption 
of the Veganz Pizza Verdura.

"For me, this is a huge step forward within our industry, which is very much in 
need of transparency and more sustainability," says Jan Bredack, CEO and 
founder of Veganz.

By selling over 1.5 million Verdura pizzas alone, more than 915 tons of CO2 
were saved in 2020.

"It's great to see how the increasing demand for plant-based products is 
driving rapid changes in Australia, and we are very excited to partner with 
Woolworths, who will offer our top-selling vegan veggie pizza Verdura in their 
frozen pizza range", states Anna Brandt, Veganz Country Manager Australia - 
Oceania. 

In addition to Woolworths [ https://www.woolworths.com.au/ ], the Veganz pizzas 
will be available at the Vegan Grocery Store in Sydney, Melbourne and online. 
The Vegan Grocery Store [ https://www.crueltyfreeshop.com.au/ ] is the first 
Australian retail partner with the full Veganz pizza range and delivers to 
customers Australia-wide via its online store.
