Hamburg-based foodtech startup The Raging Pig Company has launched a new plant-based burger patty specifically designed for the food service industry. The Raging Burger Patty, made from peas and mushrooms, is versatile and can be used as a traditional burger patty or as a smash-burger, a cooking method that creates a crispy exterior and caramelized flavor by pressing the patty onto a grill.

The company's founder, Dr. Arne Ewerbeck, stated that the patty was created to meet the demands of professional kitchens and provide a plant-based alternative to conventional smash-burgers. The Raging Pig Company, known for developing pork alternatives such as plant-based sausages and bacon, recently completed a seed financing round to further support product development. The new burger patty is now available in Germany through selected foodservice partners, offering a flavorful, juicy, and innovative plant-based option in the market.
