Arla Foods introduces Lurpak Plant Based

The number one dairy brand is now available in plant based as Arla Foods launches Lurpak Plant Based into the UK and Danish retail markets. Investing in new products is a key part of Arla’s growth strategy, and the launch of Lurpak into the plant based category is one of the drivers for strengthening its brands across key markets.

As more shoppers buy into both dairy and alternatives, Lurpak Plant Based aims to meet the changing consumer demands and new consumption habits. As a category leader, Lurpak can add value to both retailers and consumers with the launch of the new product.

“As a farmer owned cooperative, dairy is and always will be, at the heart of Arla. But in order to strengthen the position of our brands and attract new consumers, we have to innovate. We believe there is room for both dairy and non-dairy in a healthy, sustainable diet and our new innovation in plant based allows us to offer our shoppers that choice within our brand portfolio. The launch of Lurpak Plant Based gives us the opportunity to bring the quality and taste of Lurpak to consumers. This ultimately ensures we continue driving growth across our portfolio and creating value that goes back to our farmer owners," says Peter Giørtz-Carlsen, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Arla Foods.

Lurpak Plant Based offers the great taste and quality that the premium butter brand is renowned for. With a simple ingredients list, it has the same functionality as Lurpak Spreadable, making it suitable for spreading, cooking and baking.

Lurpak Plant Based launches into stores in the UK on 21st August and in Denmark from 26 August 2024.
