Planted Launches Fermentation-Derived Vegan Whole-Cut Steak

Planted, a leader in the European plant-based meat sector, has launched a fermented steak alternative made using a proprietary fermentation process. This clean-label whole-cut steak is a result of a multimillion-dollar investment in a new fermentation facility in Switzerland. The steak, made from soy protein, rapeseed oil, bean and rice flours, and microbial cultures, offers a healthier option with 17g of protein, 182 calories, and 0.9g saturated fat.

The brand's focus on taste, health, and sustainability has led to its success in the European market. Planted plans to expand its fermentation technology to create more product categories using its whole-muscle platform. With a foodservice-first approach, the brand aims to fine-tune its products based on professional feedback before entering the retail market, setting a new standard in the plant-based meat industry.
