TRENOS SiGINT: Plant Proteins Quietly Go Mainstream as FROOM Enters Delidoor

JC Analyst September, 2025

Signal:

The inclusion of FROOM in Delidoor’s 12,000 meals-a-week, national frozen meal service marks a subtle yet powerful signal: plant proteins are entering the mass-convenience space. This isn’t niche vegan retail, it’s a trusted family meal service building credibility and volume. By embedding plant protein into normal purchasing behaviour, Fascin8foods demonstrates how ingredient brands can scale by partnering with established foodservice operators rather than chasing supermarket shelf wars.

Human Factor:

For a mum feeding three kids, or a retiree who just wants an easy, nourishing dinner, the plant-based badge is no longer the key selling point, it’s the taste, price, and trust. Plant protein is becoming invisible, and that’s the win.
