In the most recent reports of African Swine Flu, at a time where everybody is very concerned with the coronavirus, have driven the demand for plant-based bacon - according to vegan meat company that manufactures "Facon", Sunfed.
The brand debuted its 'boar-free' bacon into New Zealand supermarkets last month - where it reportedly sold out in just two days.
Sunfed says it has 'had to keep working at production' after consumers were buying the meat-free product 'by the tray'.
The public is becoming more and more aware about the dangers of salmonella and campylobacter and African Swine Flu - and all of this has combined to drive consumer demand for our plant-based products."
