Let’s be honest — La Vie’s plant-based lardons & bacon are WAY too delicious to keep to ourselves. Which is why we need YOU to help us bring them to even more people across the UK! Whether it’s in your favourite grab-and-go sandwich, a Greggs bake, or a Papa John’s pizza, your mission is to make sure La Vie is everywhere — and always irresistible.
You’ll be the 6th La Vie member in the UK… exciting, right?!
