Swiss food-tech start-up Planted Foods has announced the launch of two new meat alternative innovations, made using its proprietary fermentation platform.

The new mince-like Planted.Hack product brings the brand’s fermented Planted.Steak tech to what it describes as a ‘everyday kitchen all-rounder,’ suitable for use across classic mince meal favourites like bolognese, chilli sin carne and lasagne.

Like the rest of the products in Planted’s range, the new Planted.Hack contains no artificial flavours or additives, addressing demand for clean-label options in the plant-based protein category.

Planted.Hack comes in 320g four-portion packs, with each sharing pack containing 58g of protein. It launches at retailers Rewe, Edeka, Familia Nordost, V-Markt and Wasgau in Gemany, as well as at selected Coop stores in Switzerland, and Spar and Gurkerl in Austria.

Meanwhile, in Switzerland only, the brand has introduced Planted.Filetstreifen Asia-Style – a steak strip-style format described as ‘juicy and tender’ with a sweet and savoury, teriyaki-inspired marinade. The strips are designed for convenience, suitable for dishes such as stir-fries, noodles and rice bowls, and ready within minutes.
