The UK’s largest bakery chain, Greggs, is to launch a vegan sausage roll this week. The launch comes after 20,000 people signed a petition by animal welfare organisation Peta last year calling on Greggs to produce a vegan version of its bestselling item. “We have been trying to develop a vegan version of our famous sausage roll for some time now. The new vegan sausage roll will be on sale in 950 of Greggs’s 1,850 UK shops from Thursday, costing £1 – 5p more than the traditional meat version. It includes a vegan coleslaw and potato salad, as well as the first supermarket vegan sourdough pizza.
