There are six products in the range. Soya, rice, oat and almond -in different varieties- are some of the flavours ready to win over all taste buds. All the new products have the highest percentage of raw materials on the market, they are prepared exclusively using natural ingredients and they are 100% suitable for vegans. They are also a healthy option due to their low saturated fat content and because they contain no added sugars or sweeteners.

With 'VegeDia', we'veprioritised the large amount of raw materials in the recipes. We've used all natural ingredients in the preparation, achieving a clean recipe with no added sugars, sweeteners or artificial additives, which is the highest-quality offering on the market", explained José Manuel Blanco, Head of Fresh Produce at DIA Spain.
