Research has found that supermarkets have raised the price of vegetarian food in the past year as more Britons give up meat.

Vegetarian sausages in Linda McCartney’s range cost about 13 percent more, Quorn’s vegetarian steaks have increased in price by 8 percent and it’s no-meat mince by almost 12 percent.

The Grocer magazine recorded the prices of more than 200 vegetarian foods and found that they were on average 2 percent higher since February last year.

An estimated 150,000 Britons gave up meat in January this year, double the number that did so in the same month last year.
