hello everyone

does it look like the vegan meatballs will be back in the range in the near future? i think it's a shame that they won't be sold anymore. as a former meat lover, i really appreciated these balls and was pleased that they tasted similar to the kötbullar. so it would be great if you would take them back. the falafel and the other round things are delicious, but they don't replace the meatballs in any way.
and what about the barbecue ribs? will they also be abolished?

Hello the-devils-blood,

Thank you for your request. I will be happy to find out whether we are considering adding the vegan meatballs to our range again and will pass on your request to the product managers.

However, the product range for vegetarian and vegan foods is constantly being expanded and some new products have been added recently. For example, have you heard of the Okara balls or the Cornatur Burger?

in any case, i know these two new products.
the burgers are also really great, but the okara balls are just not the same as the meatballs.
and i know that there are many vegans who think that's a shame.
you could make the meatballs really well in the pasta sauce.
so i would very much welcome it if they were back in the range.
i don't understand why they had to be taken out anyway, because there was certainly enough demand for them.

No offense, but there can be no question of "expansion". You introduce okra balls - and bang, the meatballs are thrown out of the range. You introduce burgers - and the grilled fillets disappear. You introduce vegan tartare - and bang, the tofu medallions with vegetables disappear.

Stop talking about "expansion" and say "product range change" or product replacement instead.

I can only be half happy about new products if long-standing products that I liked are removed from the range!!!
More space should finally be created. Most of the time, the vegan products only have 2-3 rows of shelves available, while you can find around 100 types of fresh pasta next to them......

Hello everyone,

Thank you very much for your comments, the reason that the vegan meatballs have disappeared from the range is that they were no longer selling so well and many stores had to throw products away. There are therefore no plans to relaunch this product for the time being.

The demand for (among other things) vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free products has been increasing for some time and the range is being expanded accordingly. This development has been on the rise for several years, but is still relatively new. There are therefore still many ideas that can be implemented or optimized.

For the entire range, as well as for the vegan products, products are constantly being reviewed, changed or even replaced with the aim of meeting a wide range of needs.

Of course, this also applies to the vegan meatballs and other products in the vegan range, so these products were not simply removed, but an attempt was made to offer an alternative. Examples of the vegan meatballs are the vegan organic okra balls or the vegan falafel.

Overall, however, the vegan range in particular has expanded enormously in recent years, e.g. with the inclusion of Alnatura products.

The meatballs are back in the range - but unfortunately a disappointment. Smells and tastes like greasy pork. Sorry, not a good product :-(

Dear Antonia

I've been a vegetarian for decades and have been cooking vegan for a year now. And yesterday I bought another Cornatur product. What a disappointment! The vegan meatballs smell and taste like greasy pork :-( Sorry, not a good product!

@bella-incanto Meatballs are a typical product that only becomes edible and interesting with cranberry confiture. And cranberry jam only goes well with BEEF.

If you look at the things McDonalds offers people, you'll see that the most popular products contain sugar in some form or another ... and since you're not supposed to see the sugar, it's "hidden" in ketchup or cranberry confiture.

McDonalds has also managed to combine pulet nuggets with sugar (in the sauce). Here too, sugar is the "addictive factor".

There are only a few "vegetarian" dishes (not including fruit) that are "better" with sugar ... (peas, carrots, peppers, green salad). It takes at least complicated preparations (Mexican sauces, for example, which contain a lot of sugar) to "enhance" vegetarian food with sugar. For example, you can't "improve" "Cornatur" or mushrooms with sugar, they usually taste horribly bad.

And because people have been persuaded that sugar is "bad", manufacturers of ready meals try to disguise the sugar somehow. For example, the Riz Kasimir sauce is "sweetened" by using pineapple in the sauce ... which then adds the sugar.

"Vegetarian meatballs" are an example of how the industry wants to imitate meat products in an almost comical way. The customer wants to eat vegetarian food and terrible "substitute products" are manufactured for him that look like the meat product and are also trimmed to taste like meat with artificial flavors and colorings. It's downright grandiose ... most vegetarians find meat disgusting just by looking at it ... and it's precisely them who are turned on to "veggie sausages".
