“The majority of food I eat is plant based.
Cooking with my partner who has been vegan for
a little over 10 years has taught me a lot about
looking for vegan products in the supermarket,
what he can and can not consume. Even in 2020,
the options available are still limited.

At Springbrook we get multiple enquiries a week
for making plant-based food products and this
trend isn’t looking to slow down. As someone
who personally eats majority plant based, I am
here to help you design food products to meet
this market.”
