Nestlé launches plant-based alternatives to white fish
Food major Nestlé is launching plant-based alternatives to white fish, ranging from breaded fish fillets to nuggets and fingers. All are certified vegan.
In Europe, under its Garden Gourmet brand, Nestlé is rolling out marine-style crispy fillet and marine-style crispy nuggets. The SKUs are made from a blend of wheat and soy protein and score a Nutri-Score A.
Available both online and in-store, the fish alternatives will be sold in Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
"These new fish alternatives are the result of our deep expertise in plant-based proteins and our strong commitment to continue delivering exciting innovations that meet consumers expectations. During consumer testing, our products received high praise for the great taste and texture that is close to white fish. They also come with strong nutritional credentials, making them competitive in the marketplace,” said Torsen Pohl, global head of R&D for Nestlé’s food category.
In Malaysia and Singapore, Nestlé has already launched fish-free fingers for both retail and out-of-home markets under its Harvest Gourmet Brand.
