At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

Veganism on the rise

It seems everyone is becoming vegan, judging by the amount of vegan and free-from products on offer in supermarkets, restaurants, coffee shops and even Greggs, which launched a vegan sausage roll at the beginning of the year.

The preference for vegan, vegetarian, or ‘plant-based’ products has been driven by an increased awareness of what goes into the food we eat. This has prompted many brands to launch their own free-from or vegan ranges, including Müller yoghurts, Cathedral City Cheddar and Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream, among others.

The annual “Veganuary” campaign this year is said to have seen a record 250,000 people sign up worldwide. UK consumers flocked to supermarkets and convenience stores to stock up on free-from, vegan and vegetarian-friendly foods to get them through the month – and many have continued into February and beyond.

All this means retailers need to review their ranges and make sure they are catering to consumers with vegan or vegetarian diets. Almost all categories have a free-from alternative, including dairy-free milk, yoghurt, cheese and spreads and meat-free options like Quorn products and bean burgers.
