BENEO has announced the next significant turning point in its plant-based journey. The ingredient producer plans to add plant-based Meatless Beef Bites and Minced Meat to its line of semi-finished products by the start of 2024.

With its authentic juicy and meat-like textured beef imitation products, BENEO provides manufacturers with a scalable and effective approach to capitalize on the plant-based trend, all thanks to its highly creative technology.

The demand for beef imitation products is significant, with 76% of customers in Europe finding beef to be an appealing sort of meat substitute. In addition to helping manufacturers satisfy consumer demand for excellent alternative beef products, this innovative BENEO solution offers straightforward, short ingredient lists, semi-finished goods that are easy to handle. The plant-based alternatives to beef, made possible by BENEO’s low-energy processing technology, are not only tasty but also sustainable.

Meatless Beef Bites and Minced Meat products are made from myco- and pea protein and are available frozen. They are colored to give them a genuine beef look. They keep their juiciness and succulence through baking or frying thanks to their exceptional heat stability and water-holding capacity. Additionally, because of their juicy and rich texture, finished goods might have less fat, which is in line with customers’ growing desires for healthier options. Meatless Minced Meat is great for marinades, sauces, and lasagna; Meatless Beef Bites are great for stir fries and stews.
