Meatless Farm Picks Up PETA Vegan Food Award for Best Vegan Chicken
Meatless Farm Picks Up PETA Vegan Food Award for Best Vegan Chicken
Leeds – This year marks the 10th anniversary of PETA’s Vegan Food Awards – an annual celebration of delicious new animal-free offerings – and 2022’s roundup is sure to win over the one-third of Brits who now report an interest in going vegan.
Picking up the award for Best Vegan Chicken is Leeds-based business Meatless Farm for its Plant-Based Chicken Breasts. These vegan chicken breasts are an excellent source of protein, are easy to cook in the pan or oven, and can be used in everything from a katsu curry to a Sunday roast.
Co-op won Best Vegan Milk for its creamy, barista-approved oat milk. Byron took home Best Vegan Burger for its massive Vegan Double Bacon Cheese burger, and Domino’s also nabbed a slice of the action, winning Best Vegan Pizza with its Vegan PepperoNAY. After launching its Omni Fish and Chips in more than 500 pubs across the UK, Greene King won Best Vegan Fish Dish. For the full list of winners, click here.
“Supermarkets and restaurants are meeting the growing demand for exciting animal- and planet-friendly fare, and everything from OGGS’ fluffy vegan eggs to La Vie’s crispy vegan bacon proves just how much the market has grown since we launched the Vegan Food Awards a decade ago,” says PETA Director of Vegan Corporate Projects Dawn Carr. “PETA’s 2022 winners are more diverse and delicious than ever, but every time someone chooses a vegan meal, the real winners are the animals.”
In today’s meat, egg, dairy, and fishing industries, piglets’ tails may be docked without painkillers, chickens’ throats are slit while they’re still conscious, cows are forcibly separated from their beloved calves, and fish are cut open while they’re still alive. PETA notes that vegan foods have a smaller carbon footprint than animal-derived foods, as animal agriculture is a leading producer of the greenhouse gases that contribute to the climate catastrophe. Eating vegan also lowers a person’s risk of developing heart disease and cancer.
PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat” – opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. High-resolution images of the winners are available here. For more information, please visit PETA.org.uk or follow the group on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
