Speaking on the campaign announcement at ADNEC, Reinier Weerman, General Manager –Middle East & North Africa of Upfield said; “We are at a pivotal moment, whereby people around the world need and want to change the way they eat.
“Chefs can be at the forefront of this change by guiding their customers towards more plant-based food and showing just because something is not dairy does not mean it cannot be delicious.
“Through the introduction of this campaign, we hope to help chefs expand their menus with plant-based, planet-friendly options.”
The #makeitplant campaign was unveiled during the Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2022, a biennial event hosted by the world association of chefs’ societies and representing 10 million culinary artists worldwide.
Expected to attract up to 2,000 chefs from more than 105 countries, the four-day event is featuring masterclasses, panel discussions, competitions, and expert-hosted seminars, while the UAE’s annual Expo Culinaire and its signature Salon Culinaire is running in tandem.
