Launches plant-based patty and ground products
Retail food and foodservice businesses can now capture their share of the growing plant-based protein market under their own brands thanks to Cargill. The global food and agriculture company has announced its new private label plant-based patties and ground products will hit retailers and restaurants in early April.
The new offerings are part of Cargill’s inclusive approach to the future of protein – advancing both animal and alternative protein products to meet the expected 70% growth in global demand for protein over the next 30 years.
The plant-based protein products, which were developed through culinary insight, extensive consumer research and innovation, are made in Cargill facilities, delivering the taste and consistency consumers want.
The new plant-based products from Cargill are an important next step in bringing more protein options to retail stores, cafeterias, fast food outlets, restaurants and other global locations. With Cargill, foodservice and retail customers can count on an experienced global partner with the supply chain, scale and formulation capabilities to deliver the solutions they need.
Cargill has invested $7 billion globally in animal protein in the last five years while making strategic investments in the alternative protein space.
