Kerry Releases Webinar on Food Safety Challenges with Plant-based Meats

BELOIT, Wis. — Kerry, a taste and nutrition company, has released "The Business of Alt Protein: Unlocking Food Safety in Plant-based Meat," a webinar that delves into the changes being witnessed across the food and beverage landscape as plant proteins rise to the forefront.

 

Food protection and preservation is about protecting and perfecting the freshness, taste and safety of foods and beverages and this standard applies to plant-based meats as much as it does to traditional meat, Kerry said. In the webinar, attendees will hear food protection experts from Kerry Taste & Nutrition discuss food safety and preservation challenges specific to alternative proteins, and strategies on how to convert those challenges into actionable insights that maintain safety while also protecting taste and flavor during the product’s shelf life. No additive/preservatives is a top growing position positioning for plant-based meats globally with the claim being featured in 16% of new product launches in 2020, Kerry said. Implementing clean label food preservation solutions in plant-based products that meet consumers’ desires for cleaner labels will be discussed in the webinar.
