About Veganuary 2027
Veganuary asks participants to avoid meat, fish, dairy, eggs and honey for the 31 days of January. Launched in the United Kingdom in 2014, the campaign has pulled in hundreds of thousands of sign-ups in later years, with big supermarket chains and football clubs stocking dedicated ranges for the month.
January is when supermarket plant-based sales peak, and retailers now plan their own-brand launches for late December so the shelves are ready. Sign-ups skew strongly towards first-timers, which is why the organisation publishes recipes, B12 guidance and a starter shopping list.
The nutritional consensus is that a well-planned vegan diet can be healthy at every life stage, with the caveats that vitamin B12, iodine and sometimes vitamin D need to come from fortified food or supplements.
- The campaign started in 2014 with around 150 participants and later passed half a million in a single year.
- Plant-based product sales in UK supermarkets spike in the first two weeks of January.
- Vitamin B12 is not reliably available from unfortified plant food, so supplement or fortified foods are advised.
- Several UK football clubs and pharmacy chains now sponsor the month.
