history
IKEA announced the veggie dog in August 2018, with Europe launching that month and the United States scheduled for September. Its FY18 report subsequently recorded about one million sold across Europe and the U.S. during August and September, documenting early sales beyond the announcement. [4] [6]
By February 2019 the company reported nearly five million bistro servings worldwide. Customer requests prompted KORVMOJ, a frozen take-home version announced first for Europe, with North America to follow. That retail rollout is a separate part of the family’s history. [7]
nutrition
The U.S. table covers the sausage and bun without added toppings. Wheat, soy and sesame are listed allergens. The label’s printed 1 g trans-fat value is retained as supplied. [2]

prices
Single and double servings are distinct portions. The October 10, 2026 menu check found the same single price as the earlier check, with a separate double offer; the retrieval dates do not establish a price change. [1]
distinctions
Ksenia Prints found the veggie dog grainy and closer to a spiced lentil dish than a conventional sausage in her June 2026 tasting. That individual reaction illustrates its vegetable-forward character without assigning it a universal rating. [5]

The U.S. label was rechecked October 10, 2026. Its bun-and-sausage serving remains separate from historical garnishes and frozen retail packs. The kale/cabbage wording difference remains unresolved between the product description and ingredient portal. [3] [2]
The launch announcement, annual report and KORVMOJ announcement are company accounts. Exact store-level introduction dates remain open. The supplied product photograph is displayed with site-specific written permission; its capture date and store are unknown. The double menu portion is recorded at $1.65; it does not create a second food family. [4] [6] [7] [1]
