Ahead of the New Year and the start of Veganuary, the UK tofu company The Tofoo Co. is introducing four new products.
To encourage new customers to try tofu for the first time, a new line of added-value items has been introduced. It comes after a year of expansion for Tofoo Co., which was recently acquired by Comitis Capital.

Last but not least, Tofoo Dippers is a tofu-based version of a plant-based chicken nugget that is ideal for snacking or as a component of simple midweek dinners because they have a "satisfyingly crispy crunch."
