Chief marketing officer for Australia Shane Kent said he was very excited to be the first in the company globally to bring a Vegan Mac & Cheese to the market.

‘Over the last 18 months, we have been on a journey to extend our range of products in line with changing consumer preferences and this is just one example of many things to come,’ he said.

Shoppers who have tried the vegan Mac & Cheese claimed it tasted exactly how they remember eating it during their childhoods.
