Yorkshire baker Cooplands swaps to 100 per cent vegan bread

Cooplands has become one of the first high street bakery chains to sell 100 per cent vegan bread and rolls.

The 130-year-old Yorkshire business, which has shops across Hull and East Yorkshire, has pledged all of its baked breads will be made without the use of animal fats, dairy, eggs or honey.

Bread will be baked using a traditional recipe of just flour, water, salt and yeast, with locally-sourced ingredients used where possible.

Chief executive Belinda Youngs said, “At Cooplands we put our customers’ needs at the heart of our bakery operations."
