EDMONTON — Press’d Sandwich Shop has launched two new meatless menu items featuring Gardein Chick’n.
The new vegan-friendly sandwiches include the California Vegan, which features Gardein Chick’n, guacamole, vegan cheddar cheese, vegan mayo, lettuce, tomato and vegan multigrain bread; and the Blazing Vegan, featuring Gardein Chick’n, wing sauce, vegan cheddar cheese, vegan mayo, lettuce, tomato and vegan multigrain bread.
The new sandwiches are a response to demand for vegan options, especially from Press’d’s catering clients. “We have been looking to enter the vegan market for some time but have yet to find a product that meets our standard for great taste,” says Scott Gordon, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Press’d Sandwich Shop. “After tasting Gardein Chick’n, we were confident we had the right product to build some delicious vegan sandwiches around — so that’s exactly what we did.”
“A partnership with Press’d Sandwich Shop was a natural choice for Gardein, as we share a similar desire to deliver delicious and quality products that fit a variety of Canadian lifestyles and tastes,” says Ian Roberts, VP & general manager, Conagra. “Gardein offers a breadth of items, including meat-alternative options for chicken, beef, pork and fish, that allow Canadians to enjoy a huge variety of delicious, plant-based foods. Press’d Sandwich Shop’s new items, made with fresh ingredients, are the perfect complement to Gardein Chick’n.”
