San Miguel Foods rolls out first vegetarian line, Veega
Meat-free meals can seem daunting at first, but for those choosing to explore or adopt more plant-based food options, San Miguel Foods has just launched an innovative new line of delicious, easy-to-prepare vegetarian food.
Veega is the company’s first vegetarian line. It offers a wide range of high-fiber, plant based, protein offerings that can be used in a wide variety of meals, including well-loved Filipino dishes.
Veega comes in five variants: meat-free balls, burger patties, sausages, giniling, and nuggets. They are already fully-cooked and seasoned. Produced locally by San Miguel Foods, Veega makes use of wheat, soy, mushroom, and egg, with no added preservatives.
San Miguel Foods spent three years studying and developing the perfect formula for these plant-based proteins to fit the Filipino palate.
The company has always strived to provide customers with a wide array of food choices so that home cooks can cook with ease, whether it’s tried-and-true recipes, or new discoveries the whole family can enjoy.
Whether you are a long-time vegetarian or are just looking to incorporate more plant based meals in your diet, there is something for you in Veega’s line of meat-free products.

Why understanding portions, not avoiding food, is key to balanced and sustainable nutrition
With busy schedules, family responsibilities, and countless food choices available every day, it can be easy to put nutrition and wellness on the back burner. We may know what a balanced lifestyle looks like, but putting it into practice is another story. The good news? Healthy living does not have to mean making drastic changes. Sometimes, it starts with simply pausing and asking ourselves: How well am I taking care of my nutrition and overall well-being?
For many Filipinos, the airport is more than just a place to catch a flight. It marks the start of long-awaited vacations, emotional homecomings or important business trips. In the middle of the rush, food can offer a welcome pause, providing travelers with a sense of familiarity before they head to their next destination. At the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), passengers can find familiar Filipino flavors through food concepts that bring together well-loved meals and favorite street food snacks.
Dati, akala ko ay madali lang gawing healthy ang pagkain ng pamilya. Kumain ng mas maraming gulay at prutas. Bawasan ang matatamis at maalat. Siguraduhing nakakakain nang maayos ang mga anak. Simple lang, 'di ba? Pero iba pala kapag nanay ka na kailangang mag-plano ng lulutuin -- mamamalengke, mag-bubudget, maghahanda ng pagkain, at sisiguraduhing makakakain ang lahat. Kaya ang akala ko ay magkaiba ang masustansiyang pagkain at pagkaing madaling lutuin araw-araw .
With so much nutrition information available today, choosing what to eat can sometimes feel overwhelming. Food labels, health claims, social media posts, and nutrition advice can all influence the way we see and choose our food. The good news? Making better food choices does not require following complicated rules. It starts with understanding the information available and putting it into context. Being food-informed means looking beyond simple claims, asking thoughtful questions, and considering how each food fits into your overall eating pattern.
What happens when nutrition education moves beyond the classroom and into the everyday realities of Filipino families?

SMFB’s first-quarter net income rose 2% to P11.8 billion, supported by gains in its food and spirits businesses, stable beer performance, and disciplined cost management amid a more uncertain operating environment.
