With that declaration, ALDI has brought its mainly house-branded product value proposition to a global audience. A German family-owned grocery chain, ALDI—an abbreviation for Albrecht Discount—fully entered the vegan game when it rolled out its Earth Grown brand. This plus other house brands with vegan products—like Season's Choice, Simply Nature, Enlightened Foods, and Elevation—show that Aldi has its pulse on the growing popularity of plant-based foods. From meat alternatives to baked goods and everything in between, here are some of our favorite vegan grocery items at ALDI. Putting "Finds" to the Test Kate Kirkpatrick, Communications Director at ALDI, told Treehugger that products and product lines, including the popular Earth Grown line, begin as limited-time "ALDI Finds" to see how customers will react to them before they are added to the store's permanent line. She adds that under this system, the store plans to, "add even more delicious meat-free and dairy-free alternatives to our shelves. While I can’t share specifics just yet [on upcoming new products], we encourage our fans to keep checking back for new items in the coming months."
