Pure margarine/cheese slices/triangles

[mchelle81]

i opened my pure butter this morning and it said coming soon pure cheese slices and triangles how exciting is that or is it old news well im pleased :D

[BlackCats]

That's good news.:)

[Zero]

It's strange that they haven't put anything on their website about about it but that sounds cool to me :)

[Gorilla]

i got confused by the title of this thread, shouldn't it read 'Pure margarine'. ;) but that would be interesting - as long as they're definitely going to be vegan are they? hope i get to try them. i hear about a lot of these sort of things but never see them in shops.

[Marrers]

Interesting. More chance of that brand getting into mainstream shops as well I would think, if they already order in Pure spread.

[mchelle81]

yes it was in the paper bit under the lid i hope it gets in supermarkets it should do as they sell the butter or margarine whatever you wanna call it

[hiddenfromview]

OMG amazing news!!

[bradders]

Fantastic news

[Melanie]

oOo I wanna try the triangles!

[mchelle81]

it didnt say when just said coming soon so i will be searching sainsburys everytime i go in there i cant wait

[convectuoso]

hah.. i'm curious as to what the triangles will taste like

[bradders]

I'm hoping they're a nicer and vegan version of dairylee triangles

[Mr Flibble]

Does it say they will be vegan?

This is the same company that makes Cheestrings and Wall's Sausages don't forget ;)

Pure is made by Matthews Foods, part of Kerry Group:

[bradders]

well I never. well let's hope

[twinkle]

I've sent them an email asking if they will be vegan. Will update when/if I get an answer. Fingers crossed :)

[mchelle81]

i was going to email them to let us know if you answer i didnt know they made it oh no well lets just hope they vegan then thats bit disapointing

[bradders]

turns out that so much of what I used to eat as an omni in Ireland was made by them.

[Risker]

Does it say they will be vegan?

This is the same company that makes Cheestrings and Wall's Sausages don't forget ;)

But are the new products advertised on those brands?

I'm going to be optimistic in thinking that as the new products are advertised on the Pure brand that they will be vegan.

[mchelle81]

im just going to email them and ask will let you know

[bradders]

can't do any harm, even if it turns out not to be vegan reminds them of there being a vegan market

[mchelle81]

i wish i kept the bit of paper now i cant quite rembember so dont quote me on it but im sure they were called pure the same as the spread so i am thinking they are vegan god i hope so be nice too have triangle spread on my celery again :)

coming soon...your dairy free and delicious alternative to cheese

Guessing if it's dairy free it's probably gonna be vegan (fingers crossed from no ceasin)

[Rakey]

Unless it melts it doesnt really bother me. I found cheese unless it's melted in something completely gross anyway... I can just about stand cheezly on my enchiladas

Looks promising. Pure are dedicated to being completely dairy free (so no casein), there's a lot of info about dairy allergy and intolerance on their website and their range of margarines are fortified with D2 and not D3 so they're clued up on not using animal derived vitamins too. I'm fully expecting the cheeses to be vegan.

I've yet to find a vegan cheese that I like so I'm hoping that the Pure cheeses are good.
