As everyone knows, there is a clear change in consumers' eating habits. We are witnessing an increase in the demand for plant-based proteins, as opposed to animal-based proteins, with the aim of replacing some foods with healthier, more sustainable and allergen-free ones.
While the consumption of conventional meat is decreasing, there is a growing interest in plant-based products. In view of this trend, more and more restaurants are focusing on this type of food. Chains such as McDonald's and Pans & Company have announced the expansion of their offerings by adding vegan hamburgers.
Heura Foods, the company that manufactures 100% vegetable frozen food solutions, has reached an agreement with the 'Pans & Company' chain to include its version of vegetable chicken as an ingredient in the new 'Veggies & Vegans' range.
On the other hand, after several successful trials in some establishments in Finland and Germany, McDonald's will introduce the vegan option in Canada, introducing the new PLT burger, "plants, lettuce and tomato", from supplier Beyond Meat.
At Trades, S.A., we have the following innovative proposals to drive these trends.
Protein and functional solutions:
- Legume flours
- Legume protein concentrates
- Inactive yeasts and yeast extracts
- Allergen-free extruded products
- Clean label flours and starches
