Nestlé to launch new 100% plant-based burgers in Europe and US
Nestlé has today announced its biggest move yet into the meat-free market, launching a new ‘cook from raw’ plant-based burger in Europe, and unveiling plans for the United States.
Wayne England, the head of Nestlé’s food business, said: “These new burgers don’t compromise on flavor, texture and cooking experience. They underline Nestlé’s increased focus on tasty, authentic plant-based food. We believe this trend is here to stay, as consumers look at different ways to enjoy and balance their protein intake and lower the environmental footprint of their diets.”
The Garden Gourmet burger will launch in Europe from this April, first coming to Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.
The Garden Gourmet burger is 100% plant-based, with natural protein from soy and wheat. Natural plant extracts – beetroot, carrot, and bell pepper – help create the look of a beef burger before, during, and after cooking. The burger will be found in the chilled or frozen aisle, complementing Garden Gourmet’s existing range of products.
Beginning this fall, Nestlé will also roll out a cook from raw plant-based burger in the United States under the Sweet Earth brand, customized for the American consumer. Called the Awesome Burger, this new burger, to be sold fresh, will complement Sweet Earth’s existing veggie-centric burgers sold today.
