The growth of vegan products

Available for over a year

One in four new foods in the UK were vegan last year, so we look at the growing industry. Edward Bergen from market research company Mintel tells us that the growth in vegan ranges is not restricted to just the UK. Toni Vernelli is head of communications for campaign group Veganuary, and discusses the organisation's campaign encouraging people to try a vegan lifestyle. We hear from Bill Collison of Bill's restaurant chain in London why his firm has embraced catering to vegans. Meagan Boyle of confectionery brand Mummy Meagz discusses her vegan chocolate creme egg, which she says has attracted a cult following. And Swiss dairy farmer Marc Maret argues that despite growing popularity for vegan cheese, it's important to maintain traditions when it comes to making dairy products. Also in the programme, the BBC's Andrew Harding discusses allegations that Africa's richest woman, Isabel dos Santos, made her fortune through exploiting her own country and corruption. Plus our regular workplace commentator Pilita Clarke considers how small customer service gestures on a long-haul flight can turn a disgruntled passenger into a delighted one.
