![]() After launching its vegan tuna sandwiches at 4,000 ALDI stores last year, the company is currently in the midst of expanding to five countries, which will soon be able to try its vegan tuna spread in Au Naturel, Olive, Tomato & Chilli, and Caper & Pepper flavors. In Europe, German brand BettaF!sh makes a vegan “tunah” spread made from a blend of fava beans and ocean-grown seaweed. “Americans eat more than 1 billion pounds of tuna every year, so converting even a fraction of those consumers to JINKA’s tasty, fish-free alternative can have an enormous impact on the health of our oceans and the animals that live in them,” JINKA Founder and CEO Alberta Liao said in a statement. Available at Whole Foods Markets, California-based brand JINKA offers three flavors of its vegan tuna spread: Original, Lemon & Dill, and Spicy. In addition to Trader Joe’s new vegan spread, similar products in the vegan fish spread category have launched to help consumers make truly sustainable choices. Trader Joe’s new Salmonesque spread is part of a growing vegan seafood trend that responds to a need for solutions to alleviate pressure from the world’s oceans, which have been ravaged by industrial fishing. The new vegan Salmonesque spread is a similar product to Miyoko’s Creamery Unlox Your Dreams, an offering Trader Joe’s stocks in its refrigerated section. ![]() “We don’t have options yet within our stores for a plant-based seafood product but there are crab cakes out on the market or scallops or tuna replacements.” “I’m looking to do more work on the seafood side,” Gaston-Morales revealed in an episode of the Inside Trader Joe’s podcast. The store does offer vegan jackfruit-based crab cakes in its freezer aisle but Amy Gaston-Morales-Category Manager of Deli, Frozen Meat, Seafood, Meatless, and Fresh Beverage at Trader Joe’s-explained last year that more vegan seafood options were in the works for every meal of the day. The new vegan fish spread makes good on Trader Joe’s promise to develop more plant-based products for every category in store, including fish. The innovative bagel topper is rolling out at Trader Joe’s nationwide and is stocked in the store’s refrigerated section for $4.29 per 8-ounce tub. This new product is made with a base of dairy-free cream cheese mixed with vegan mayo and konjac-based salmon, along with capers, lemon juice, dill weed, and other flavorings. ![]() The new Vegan Salmonesque Spread at the grocery chain is a combination of everything we love about a lox bagel made without harming animals on land or sea. But what about those of us who don’t want to consume animal products? Trader Joe’s has just the thing. The traditional flavors of a lox bagel are typically derived from combining two animal products: dairy cream cheese and smoked salmon with accoutrements such as capers, onions, and dill.
