Product Information

Last year was incredibly tough for the food and drink industry and 2021 will continue to be challenging, so I’d encourage everyone to look out for these outstanding new products when they next visit their local Aldi and help support these incredible suppliers."

No one farms animals to make gelatine. Gelatine is a by-product of meat production – the leftover skin and bones, after the meaty bits have been sent to the butcher, are boiled up until a gel forms. In a world where pigs and cattle are reared for steaks and sausages, using this gel reduces food waste, and increases the amount of land that can be used to farm food for a hungry world, rather than growing peas to process into protein to set gummy sweets.
