The lowdown

La Vie made its name with plant-based bacon and lardons, and now also sells ham, salami sticks and tofu. Its bacon is made from rehydrated soya protein and sunflower oil, according to the brand's own ingredients list.

In the UK, La Vie's smoked bacon rashers are listed at Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Ocado, and Sainsbury's marks them suitable for vegans.
