Fresh pasta served at restaurants and cafés usually contains eggs. However, although a majority of packaged pasta seemingly contains ingredients that are plant-based, it would be an overstatement to refer to them all as 'vegan'.

With specialty stores snowballing in developed countries, vegan pasta makers are walking the extra mile to sell the offerings through specialty stores comprehensively. The movement of plant-based consumables is intensifying in countries including the UK, the US, and Australia – a factor driving competitors to channelize vegan pasta to these regions.
