Juicy Marbles brings butcher-style plant-based Bangers to Ocado in latest UK expansion

Plant-based meat company Juicy Marbles has expanded its portfolio with the launch of Butcher-Minced Bangers, a premium plant-based sausage that will debut exclusively through UK online retailer Ocado.

• Juicy Marbles launched Butcher-Minced Bangers exclusively through Ocado in packs of six priced at £4.09 (US$5.44).
• The sausages used minced plant-based whole cuts and visible fat cubes to create a coarse, butcher-style texture.
• The launch expanded the company's growing product portfolio beyond steaks, burgers and seafood alternatives.

The new sausages, which launch today (July 31), are sold in packs of six for £4.09 (US$5.44). Juicy Marbles said the product was developed to address what it sees as a lack of premium, authentic plant-based sausages on the market.

Unlike many plant-based sausages that are made by emulsifying proteins and fats into a smooth mixture before casing, the company said its new product follows a more traditional sausage-making approach. It starts with Juicy Marbles' plant-based whole cuts, which are minced together with plant-based fat cubes to create a coarse texture intended to resemble butcher-made sausages.

According to the company, the visible fat cubes melt during cooking, helping to baste the sausages from within while creating a marbled appearance and juicier eating experience.

"Don't get us wrong," Co-founder Luka Sinček said. "Plant-based sausages have tasted good for a long time. They opened people's minds to the potential of plant-based meat. However, our credo demands that if we can give something an experiential overhaul, we must. So, when we realised we could employ the same techniques butchers use to make high quality sausage, by mincing and casing our own plant-based whole cuts and fats, the superior eating experience kinda shocked us, and we had to move forward."#

Juicy Marbles said the product was developed with classic British dishes in mind, including bangers and mash, a full English breakfast and toad-in-the-hole. The sausages feature a beef-style flavor, a snappy casing and are designed to cook in six to eight minutes, developing a browned crust while releasing their fats and juices.

Nutritionally, the sausages contain 12.4g of protein per 100g, no preservatives, 21% of the recommended daily value of iron, 20% of the recommended daily value of vitamin B12 and are a source of fiber.

The Ocado launch continues a period of rapid portfolio expansion for Juicy Marbles. Earlier this year, the company broadened its UK retail presence with the launch of its whole-food-focused Umami Burger in 225 Tesco stores. Unlike the company's hyper-realistic whole cuts, the burger was developed as an everyday plant-based option made with ingredients including quinoa, flax, miso, fermented koji barley and seitan, targeting consumers looking for a simpler, high-protein alternative.

Beyond meat, Juicy Marbles has also entered the plant-based seafood category through its 'Juicy Marbles & Friends' collaboration with Austrian food-tech company Revo Foods. Following the sell-out of Kinda Cod in just over an hour during its limited release in 2025, the partners launched Kinda Salmon, a whole-cut salmon alternative made from fermented fungi-based mycoprotein and enriched with DHA and EPA from microalgae oil.

With Butcher-Minced Bangers, Juicy Marbles returns to the meat alternatives category that established its reputation, applying the whole-cut technology behind its steaks, tenderloins and ribs to a traditional sausage format. For now, the product will only be available through Ocado, with the company confirming there is currently no timeline for a brick-and-mortar retail launch.
