Among its members are famous brands like Oatly, Sheese, Upfield, and Alpro and organisations, such as the Vegan Society, the Vegetarian Society, and food campaigning groups such as ProVeg Europe and the Good Food Institute Europe.  

Herblabism commented:  “It’s great to be joining the PFA UK, sitting alongside other pioneering brands and organisations who are similarly committed to promoting the benefits of plant-based food. Herblabism is also looking forward to working closely with Marisa and her team to support the aims and objectives of the Alliance from a sustainability and regenerative perspective.” 

“The fact that Herblabism is focused on circular and regenerative products really excites us, and we think it can provide an excellent model to government on how plant-based food can be sustainable and tasty, and also healthy,” added Marisa Heath.
