Oumph! plant-based ribs, mince and burger launching in Sweden

With perfect timing for the barbecue season, the multi award-winning, plant-based Oumph! is launching three brand new products in Sweden: The Oumph! Burger, Oumph! Mince and Sticky Smokehouse Oumph!

• The Oumph! Burger - a premium plant-based burger with a perfect bite, inspired by a juicy rare burger, with the big difference being that the Oumph! Burger is made with entirely plant-based ingredients, and the fine red colour comes from beetroot.

• Oumph! Mince - a plant-based mince which is perfect for making your own plant-based meatballs, burgers and creating classic bolognese style sauces for pasta dishes. Or why not make a delicious veggie chilli that is perfect for tacos.

• Sticky Smokehouse Oumph! - rib like fillets, covered in a richly flavoured sticky, smoky barbecue sauce. A winner for your BBQ party!

The new products are launching in Sweden from Monday the 6th of May, in ICA, Bergendahls and Axfood stores.

The Oumph! Burger was launched in Swedish fast-food chain Sibylla earlier this week. Sibylla is one of Sweden's leading fast-food chains, with 160 restaurants. The burger also launched in Finland's Kesko stores earlier this week.

All three new Oumph! Products will be launched soon in both retail and foodservice throughout the Nordic countries, as well as in the UK and Ireland.
