Aldi followers not happy over the supermarket’s latest vegan product
The supermarket giant has caused a stir this time with the launch of the brand new ‘No Pork Streaky Bacon Rashers’, as Aldi followers & consumers demand the product be renamed.
The Streaky Vegan Bacon comes in packs of 10, costs £2.19 and is part of the popular Plant Menu range.
It all sparked off initially on a Facebook post by Aldi, with a picture of the plant-based bacon, saying: ‘Who said vegan needed to be boring (and expensive)? Not us 
In store now!’

So far the post has over 10,000 comments with enraged meat-eaters and vegans all having their opinion on the name of the product.
One commenter said: ‘Getting p*ssed off with this now. You don’t want to eat meat so why the hell would you want to eat a product that resembles it?????‘
Another commenter said: ‘Bacon is bacon which is meat this isn’t so don’t call it bacon!’
With vegan commenters retorting: ‘Maybe the meat version should be called “sliced pig back or side”. You know, for the sake of accuracy and all that.’
And another vegan commenting: ‘Don’t know why so many people get angry that no pigs were tortured in a gas chamber for this!’
Do you think Aldi should rename the bacon or keep it as it is? Please leave a comment below
Tried this bacon and its lovely 🙂 Not bothered what its called, it was great in a toastie 🙂
I wonder how they will feel when they hear about fruit cheese or fruit leather……….
The state of this country at the moment, you would think people would have more important things to worry about!!
People are just angry in general due to the way our society operates. its clear to see the slightest thing sets them off to express that misplaced anger.
Bacon not made from a dead animal that has had a short, shitty life of suffering and had died as not much more than a baby. No wonder people are outraged………
