Ikea is testing a veggie hot dog and it looks super tasty
Ikea has the answer to every vegetarian's prayers. Behold, the Ikea veggie hot dog.
The Swedish store is currently testing a veggie hot dog in its Malmö store in Sweden with a view to launching the product across European stores this summer.
"Adding a veggie hot dog to the Ikea Bistro range is part of our ambitions to include more plant-based ingredients in our food offer," reads the Instagram post. "The final version of the veggie hot dog will be available at Ikea stores in Europe from August 2018."
If you're vegan, don't despair. While the product isn't currently suitable for vegans, Ikea plans to make the final product vegan-friendly before it goes on sale in other stores.
"The recipe is vegetarian, but for the test production sold at the Malmö store we were not able to secure that all ingredients in the test production were 100% vegan," an Ikea spokesperson told Mashable.
"Our aim is for the final product to be made using a vegan recipe," the spokesperson continued.
Looks pretty tasty, tbh.
