OMG! @lidlgb now do Beyond Burgers!! ?? … Are you a Lidl shopper? The burgers are in the freezer at Lidl and cost £3.99 ? This is so interesting because Lidl’s vegan burger won an award recently for taste, yet they still bring in the @beyondmeat burger ? (not that we are complaining) We also hear that Beyond are opening a factory in Europe, so with less miles to travel, they will potentially get cheaper ? Great find by @chefjames515 ?

Award-winning

As noted by VeganFoodUK, Lidl’s own brand meat-free patties recently scooped top honors in a major blind taste test.

The W/O Meat Vegan Burger won the ‘Best Veggie Burger’ category of Good Housekeeping’s BBQ Taste Test, in which burgers were assessed on their appearance, aroma, taste, and texture.

In a statement sent to Plant Based News, a Lidl spokesperson said: “Scoring a winning 84/100, Good Housekeeping’s taste testers were said to adore its ‘earthy mushroom and beetroot flavor’, as well as its ‘subtle spices’, and ‘thick, juicy bite’.”
