Linda McCartney Foods Vegetarian Range

Linda McCartney Foods is a pioneering brand in the plant-based industry, founded by the late photographer and activist Linda McCartney. Launched in 1991, it was one of the first major brands to bring meat-free alternatives to mainstream supermarkets, driven by Linda's personal dedication to animal welfare and vegetarianism.

While the brand maintains its British heritage and identity, its ownership has transitioned through several major food conglomerates over the decades. Originally established as a family-led initiative, it was acquired by United Biscuits, then passed to H.J. Heinz, before eventually being purchased by the Hain Celestial Group. The products continue to be a staple in the frozen and chilled aisles, primarily produced in facilities within the United Kingdom.

Today, the brand operates as a key pillar of the Hain Celestial portfolio, focusing on sustainable nutrition. Despite changes in corporate ownership, the McCartney family remains involved in the brand's creative direction and ethos, ensuring it stays true to its original mission of providing ethical and accessible meat-free meals.
