Nestlé is expanding its plant-based portfolio with a new shelf-stable range of plant-based cooking solutions in Chile, under the Maggi Veg brand.
The range includes the company’s first shelf-stable plant-based minced meat, made from soya. It comes in recipe solutions that combine it with seasoning, suited to popular meat-based dishes such as tacos, empanadas or spaghetti bolognaise.
The new Maggi Veg range in Chile also includes a soup containing lentils, rice, vegetables and seasoning.
Torsten Pohl, global head of R&D for Nestlé’s food category, said: “We continue launching plant-based products in many regions of the world to offer people tasty, nutritious alternatives to meat that they can enjoy with family and friends”.
“Our new shelf-stable range also makes plant-based alternatives more accessible to a wider range of consumers in Chile. This makes them a delicious, excellent source of protein in many favourite recipes, for breakfast, lunch or dinner.”
Beyond these launches, Nestlé also recently piloted ready-to-heat, shelf-stable plant-based meal kits in China that feature local recipes like Mala Xiang Guo and Curry Chicken.
The meal kits aim to provide consumers with nutritious, tasty and convenient plant-based meals that can be prepared quickly and easily at home, Nestlé said.
