🤔 Is clean label seafood possible? 🐟 In our clean-label feature in the Q2 2024 edition of Protein Production Technology International, we were pleased to speak Robin Simsa, the CEO of clean-label alternative seafood firm, Revo Foods “Although I’ve heard a lot of discussion that consumers prefer fewer ingredients, I haven’t found any reliable data that analyzes this trend,” says Robin. “I believe taste and price are everything, and this seems also to be the case for consumers of meat alternatives, according to a GFI Study from 2022 looking at consumer preferences. Concerns about the processing of food only came number five on the list of characteristics that are important to consumers.” 📰 Learn more about Revo Foods and other pioneers in the full feature on clean label food: https://hubs.ly/Q02yZ_Cb0 #cleanlabel #innovation #sustainability #seafood #alternativeprotein

🌱New Food Conference by ProVeg International🌱 I had a great time at the New Food Conference with Stefanie Kratzenstein: inspiring panel discussions, delicious tastings, and amazing networking opportunities... A few of my highlights: 🧀 Precision Fermentation: Exciting potential for dairy alternatives, but scaling and regulation remain challenges. Taste is crucial for consumer adoption. 🔕 The "Silent Transition": Brands like Hands Off are moving towards plant-based options without overwhelming consumers. It’s all about making delicious, accessible choices that people will want to try again. 🌉 Building Bridges in the Food Chain: Strengthening supply chains requires sincere dialogue, education, and cross-border collaboration. We need to build trust and move away from business-as-usual approaches. 📈 Appetite for Investment: Investment in the alternative protein space is facing a reality check. There’s a shift towards B2B strategies, with an emphasis on regulatory readiness and creating clear, trust-building narratives for consumers. Also, I got to try the amazing cultured caviar of Optimized Foods and the new Planted steak, sustainable and delicious. 😋 Excited to see how the industry continues to evolve and how we can all contribute to a more sustainable food system. #NewFoodConference #SustainableFood #Innovation #PlantBased #AlternativeProteins #FoodTech #futureoffood

“It’s time to act. If we’re serious about making a real impact, we need to stop thinking of plant-based as a target niche category and start removing the hidden egg from everyday foods.” Our CEO, Cedric Verstraeten, shares a fascinating perspective in a new vegconomist - the vegan business magazine piece. He's diving into the quiet revolution that is taking place in the world of food innovation. 🤫🍔🥖 The gradual elimination of animal-derived proteins from everyday products, driven by savvy consumers, sustainability goals, and some seriously clever breakthroughs, is poised to transform our entire food system. With ingredients like our yeast proteins, food producers can now remove the ‘hidden’ egg ingredients from mainstream products like burgers, appetizers, bakery items, and sauces. And the best part? It can be done with a clean label and affordably. 👉📰 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dJjB38fm #Eggreplacer #Vegan #Plantbased #Foodtech #Animalfree

#Plantbased nuggests TASTE BETTER than chicken!! In the "world's largest" blind taste test, a majority of the 1,150 American participants preferred the flavor of plant based nuggets to traditional animal based ones. Multiple brands were selected: Impossible Foods , Quorn Foods, Rebellyous Foods, SIMULATE and Morningstar Farms (a Kellogg Company). Typically taste has been the key deciding factor for consumers considerinng plant based alternatives. Does this study suggest a bright future for these products?
