New plant-based pork ribs to feature edible vegan bones

Exclusive: Company says some may see the bones as ideological provocation' but motivation was avoiding waste

Plant-based pork ribs with a twist - edible vegan bones - will soon make their debut on diners' plates, a vegan food company has announced.

The idea of the edible bones, produced by Juicy Marbles, began with the manufacturer wanting the bones to be compostable, but then realising they could also be eaten. The first products will be available from the end of August in the UK, EU and US.
