I think emailing veggie food companies, health food stores and even supermarkets telling tham about products you'd love to see on the market is a great idea! What do you want to buy? Tell us and the whole forum can start emailing
I've recently been emailing them about non-soya products(it occured to me to do this as I am considering doing an elimination diet).
Here's one of my letters....
I thought this may be of some interest to your company.
I have recently started doing an elimination diet to try and determine whether my eczema is caused by a food intolerance, which I suspect could possibly be to soya or wheat/gluten.
I am a vegan already and have bought many of your vegan products.
I was wondering, however if your company had ever investigated the possibility of manufacturing a bean curd similar to tofu made with a bean other than the soya bean? I am sure there would be a niche in the market for a product such as this, the only other vegan meat alternatives I can see on the market are wheat based seitan type products, which contain another very common allergen.
Another niche I can see on the market might be for non-soya "dairy" type products such as yogurts, desserts, creams, ice-creams etc. There are already many rice, oat and nut milks on the market but none of these things however.
I hope this letter provides new product ideas for yourselves that may in turn become products allergy sufferers and vegans would highly appreciate.
