UK supermarket chain Asda has launched vegan mince pies ahead of the Christmas season.

The retailer says that it is the first supermarket in the country to create mince pies that are free from animal ingredients and carry the Vegan Trademark.

“This festive season, Asda is proud to announce we now offer mince pies that are suitable for vegans and have been accredited by the Vegan Society," said Ciara Loker, bakery product developer at Asda.

“At Asda, we are committed to innovation and developing the best quality products that can be enjoyed by everyone."

The festive treats are now available in Asda stores, at a price of £0.89 for a box of six.
