Nestlé has introduced Maggi Rindecarne, a plant-based meat alternative which is delectable and affordable option. The mix of soy and spices allows consumers to prepare a dish that combines meat and plant-based proteins, effectively doubling the number of servings.
Maggi’s first meat extender is currently available in Chile. Swen Rabe, Head of Nestlé’s Product and Technology Center for Food, commented, “Our team of experts and chefs developed a tailored solution that provides an equivalent amount of protein in an affordable way to consumers in Latin America. Our innovation ensures the familiar taste and texture of mincemeat, is shelf-stable, and easy to use.”
This latest innovation builds on Nestlé’s approach to developing solutions that combine animal and plant-based ingredients, maximizing nutrition, affordability, and sustainability. It follows the pilot launch of a shelf-stable, plant-based protein blend in 2022, which was developed to complement egg dishes in a nutritious and affordable way in Latin America.
In Central and West Africa, Nestlé developed an affordable and nutritious beverage solution made by combining milk and locally sourced soy.
Nestlé’s efforts to expand its food range also include Maggi Soya Chunks and Maggi Veg, both offering meat-alternative options to cater to the evolving dietary preferences of consumers.
