Planted’s Fermented Steak Arrives in the UK With Major Tesco Listing

Swiss plant-based meat brand Planted has introduced its steak alternative, planted.steak, to UK retailer Tesco. The product is made using a fermentation process, offering an authentic umami flavor and consisting of soy protein, bean and rice flour, rapeseed oil, and microbial cultures. Planted claims to be the first to use all-natural ingredients and no additives in its plant-based steak, providing a sustainable option with significantly lower CO2e emissions compared to traditional steak.

Planted is also expanding its production capacity with a new facility in southern Germany, set to open soon and be Europe's most modern plant-based meat facility. Germany was chosen due to the high sales of Planted products in the country, particularly the popular planted.steak. The company sees this expansion as a game changer for the plant-based meat industry, catering to the tastes of both consumers and restaurateurs.
