based diets vary, reflecting a fragmentation
of the market, according to IFIC. In a survey,
32% of consumers said a plant-based diet
is a vegan diet, while 30% define it as a diet
that emphasizes minimally processed foods
that come from plants, with limited consumption of animal meat, eggs and dairy. Twenty

and one that avoids animal meat while 8%
said it is a diet in which you try to get as many
fruits and vegetables as possible, with no limit
on consuming animal meat, eggs and dairy.

the food and beverage industry."
But, he added, it does not mean consumers are going animal free. They see animal-

free as a way to eat healthier, do their part
for the environment or be a part of the latest
eating trend. Mr. Jourden expects restaurants
to roll out more items labeled vegan to meet
this new demand from diners who are strictly
vegan in the traditional sense as well as the
growing cohort who are part-time vegan in
the contemporary sense.
At the beginning of the year, McDonald's
Corp.'s United Kingdom business unit rolled
out its first vegan meal. The Veggie Dippers
are made with red pepper, rice, sundried tomatoes, pesto and split peas surrounded by
breadcrumbs launched Jan. 2 in McDonald's
UK and Ireland restaurants. Customers are
now able to order the chain's first vegan meal
by pairing Veggie Dippers with vegan accredited french fries and any soft drink or sauce.
The Veggie Dippers also will be available as a
fully vegan Happy Meal.
