About The Company

Get the ins and outs

THIS™ was established in 2019 in the UK by two meat-lovers who wanted to check out meat-free food and started making their own plant-based meat alternative products while following one focus: adoration for real meat. These alternatives are rich in iron, B12, and protein. Apart from their vegan products, THIS™ is known for their classic humor and fun twists on socials and their website. You can also invest in their company through crowdfunding! Lastly, they are a B-CORP and have acquired a general score of 89.3!

“To force the world’s livestock into retirement by making plant-based meat so delicious and nutritionally as good (or better) than meat that even the most hardcore of carnivores can’t tell the difference”

They have saved over 1.1 million animals since their launch!
