The vegan diet has soared in popularity in the last five years but some meat substitutes labelled as vegan contain milk or egg, according to an analysis of products.
Market-research firm Mintel found that sales of products such as meat-free sausages had doubled from £289m in 2017 to £586m in 2021. Last year sales fell slightly by 6%, even though 49% of people eat meat substitutes regularly.
