Nestlé bets on plant-based food with new burger products...

8 APR 2019 

Nestlé is launching a new 'cook from raw' 100% plant-based burger in Europe this month. The burger forms part of the Garden Gourmet range, and is made 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 Garden Gourmet Incredible Burger will be found in the chilled or frozen aisle, complementing Garden Gourmet’s existing range of products.

Wayne England, the head of Nestlé's food business, said: "These new burgers don’t compromise on flavour, 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."
