Items Tagged with 'meat alternatives'

USDA issued its first approvals for cell-cultured production last year, but so far, this fledging industry has failed to take flight, while sales of plant-based meats have been falling.

Whether a plant-based product should be labeled as a “disc” or “burger” without additional clarification is at the center of three pending cases across the country with one court already finding the state was unconstitutional in their labeling requirements.

Consumers are starting to slow purchases of plant-based meat alternatives as their promises of improved sustainability don’t overcome the health considerations of those alternatives, according to a new report from Rabobank.

Companies that make plant-based meat, egg and dairy alternatives have been heavily relying on imported crops for the ingredients they need and hope to convince more U.S. farmers to start growing peas, beans and other commodities.
