Emirates has reinforced its commitment to providing innovative vegan meals, aligning with the Veganuary initiative that promotes a vegan diet. The airline's chefs recently gathered at the Emirates Flight Catering Concept Development Kitchen to experiment with new ingredients and create dishes such as a solid egg substitute in shakshuka sauce and savory vegan cannelloni.

The airline offers over 300 vegan recipes on flights to 140 destinations, using high-quality plant-based products from global suppliers. These include Beyond Meat proteins from California, soybean protein from Arlene in the UAE and Singapore, pressed tofu from Japan's Qian Ye, organic dark chocolate by Linnolat in France, vegan margarine from Meister Marken in Germany, curry paste from Pantai in Thailand, and almond milk from Italy's Koita. Emirates also sources fresh produce from Bustanica, a hydroponic vertical farm developed with Emirates Flight Catering.

Emirates recently introduced vegan meals for children, featuring dishes like vegan pizza and sweet desserts. Vegan options are available for order onboard and in Emirates Lounges up to 24 hours before departure. On certain routes, plant-based meals are included in the main menu.
