Vegan food in Romanian supermarkets – 2 – Kaufland

Kaufland has fewer vegan options than Carrefour, but you won’t go hungry either way. Besides the selection of fresh, canned and frozen fruits and vegetables, you can find alternatives to meat and dairy products and some vegan desserts.

As it’s the case with most supermarkets, they offer some if the popular brands, like Alpro, Inedit, Joya or Olympus, but they also have their own brand of dairy and meat free foods, which usually go for a lower price. However this is where you need to pay attention. There is a vegan range with products based on chickpeas and wheat protein and a vegetarian range based on milk and egg protein. The packaging is marked as vegan and vegetarian, but besides this they’re pretty similar in design and they’re both called Take it veggie.

There are lots of dark chocolate varieties, which have written on the packaging that they might contain traces of milk or eggs because they were prepared in a facility where milk chocolate is also produced. If you’re not very strict in your diet, this is a healthy dessert option, some of the chocolate having a sugar content smaller than some biscuits brands that are marketed as being healthy.
