Nestlé’s new plant-based milk alternative Wunda set for UK launch

Nestlé has announced the launch of its new plant-based milk alternative Wunda in the UK.

Available from next week, the product is made from yellow split peas, with a neutral, refreshing taste.

“Our aim with Wunda is to make plant-based milk alternatives an easier and more attractive choice for people who want milk that tastes closer to dairy but remains just as versatile,” said Honza Dusanek, managing director for food and dairy at Nestlé UK and Ireland.

“We want to offer a drink that tastes great and makes using a plant-based milk alternative a Wunda-full, tasty, positive, no-compromise experience that is nutritious and good for the planet.”

Nestlé hops to make Wunda “one great plant-based milk alternative” for everything one would otherwise use milk for. The product has strong nutritional values: it is a good source of protein and fibre whilst low in sugar and fat. In addition, it has been enriched with calcium and is a source of vitamins D, B2 and B12.

“We want Wunda to disrupt the market, to stand out and offer something different to what’s already on the shelves,” Dusanek added.

Sustainably produced, the Wunda range will be carbon neutral from launch and is certified by the Carbon Trust.

Following the global launch last month, the range will be rolling out into UK and Irish stores, starting with Co-op and Tesco from 28 June. It will be available in two variants: Original and Unsweetened.
