Cargill has launched a new product line of plant-based patty and ground products for the food and retail sectors.
The patty line will consist of two 4-oz. soy patties; a 1 lb. soy ground loaf; two 4-oz. pea-based patties; and a 1-lb. pea-based ground loaf.
Despite its venture into the plant-based market, Cargill said they will not be forgetting animal protein.
“Cargill’s strategy for both food and feed is based on helping customers thrive in a world where demand for protein is rising,” said Brian Sikes, head of Cargill’s global protein and salt business.
“We need to keep all protein options on the table.
Whether you are eating alternative or animal protein, Cargill will be at the center of the plate.”
In August 2019, Cargill invested $75 million into pea-protein business Puris to help it double capacity.
