In a bid to cater to the increasing demand for plant-based options, Subway is set to introduce a new vegetarian and plant-based sub, The Plant Picante, launching nationwide in the UK on 10 January.

The Plant Picante features a spiced plant patty complemented by crispy onions, Sweet Onion and Garlic & Herb sauces, all topped with a choice of American-style cheese or Vegan CheeZe for a fully plant-based alternative. The sub is further dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers.

Part of Subway’s Signature Series menu, The Plant Picante is available as a six-inch or footlong on any of Subway’s bread options. Additionally, customers can opt for a wrap or salad, offering further flexibility. Subway’s Garlic & Herbs, Sweet Onion and Teriyaki sauces are also suitable for plant-based diets.

Rusty Warren, Senior NPD and product innovation manager at Subway, said: “We’re excited to be launching the Plant Picante this January, which like all our subs is fully customisable to your taste and adds to the range of vegetarian and plant-based options that we have at Subway”.

The launch aligns with the increasing trend of plant-based diets and Veganuary. The Plant Picante joins Subway’s existing plant-based offerings, including the Veggie Delite (when ordered with Vegan CheeZe), Crinkle Wedges and Vegan Double Choc Cookie.
