Nestle launches meat-free burger

CAPE TOWN – Nestlé announced that it will be launching a new 'cook from raw' 100% plant-based burger in Europe this month.

According to the company, known for its products such as KitKat, the meat-free burgers will be apart of its Garden Gourmet range and the product is made with natural protein from soy, wheat, beetroot, carrot, and bell pepper extracts.

Nestle said in a statement: “Many consumers recognize that less meat in their diet is good for them and for the planet, but plant-based meat alternatives often do not live up to their expectations. The new burgers allow even meat lovers to enjoy a veggie burger that hardly differs from a traditional burger. "

The company aims to make products that are healthier, with less salt and sugar and will be introducing ranges more in line with modern eating habits.
