UK: Nestle to launch dairy-free coffee mixes

Consumer goods giant Nestle has announced the launch of three dairy-free coffee mixes under the Nescafe Gold brand in the UK and Ireland.

According to a company press release, the new products are the world’s first plant-based soluble coffee mixes and all have vegan certification. Available as Coconut Latte, Almond Latte and Oat Latte, the new lineup is said to be made with a “specially-crafted” blend of 100% Arabica coffee and plant-based ingredients.

Neil Stephens, Head of Nescafe UK and Ireland, said: “Our new premium Nescafe Gold frothy coffees bring the plant-based, non-dairy trend out of the coffee shop and into the home. Nescafe is the world’s favourite coffee, but we do not take our position for granted. We are quick to spot and embrace fast moving coffee trends and tastes in this highly competitive and innovative market. Our new plant based vegan latte mixes are the latest in a long list of innovations to bring new and exciting sensory experiences to our loyal Nescafe consumers”.
