How do I reduce meat and keep taste and texture?

Practical ingredient and processing strategies for taste, texture, affordability and scalable production.

Consumers increasingly want to reduce their meat consumption, but they are not willing to compromise on the taste, texture, appearance and eating experience they know and enjoy.

For food manufacturers, delivering these qualities is only part of the challenge. New products must also remain affordable, support sustainability goals and perform consistently in reliable, large-scale production.

Join experts from GEA Food Solutions and Griffith Foods for a practical exploration of hybrid products. The webinar will examine how formulation, ingredient functionality and processing technology can work together to bridge the gap between traditional meat products and fully plant-based alternatives.

During this webinar, you will learn:

• How to reduce meat content while maintaining taste, texture and consumer appeal.
• Discover ingredient strategies that support product quality, functionality and affordability.
• Understand how to scale hybrid products successfully from concept to commercial production.
• Explore processing technologies that improve sustainability, consistency and operational efficiency. 

This webinar is designed for:

Plant Managers, Operations Managers, Maintenance Managers, Production Managers, Engineering Managers, R&D Managers, Food Technologists and other technical professionals involved in coated-food production, process improvement or commercial scale-up
