Nestlé’s Garden Gourmet brand has promised more innovative plant-based food following recognition by the Solar Impulse Foundation, which has awarded it Solar Impulse Efficient Solution label recognition.
With a strong range of frozen and refrigerated plant-based meat alternatives like burgers, sausages, tuna and filet pieces as well as veggie-centric bakes, falafel and more, Garden Gourmet products are formulated to help consumers conveniently reduce the amount of animal protein in their meals.
That is good for people and for the planet, according to Solar Impulse. Nestlé’s Garden Gourmet range is lower in saturated fat compared to many meat products, and contains more fiber. It also has a lower environmental footprint, including lower CO2 emissions.
Garden Gourmet has pledged to become a carbon neutral certified brand by 2022, with a greater focus on regenerative agriculture. Packaging for the range is designed to be fully recyclable.
While the Solar Impulse organization is promoting the importance of a more plant-based diet, Garden Gourmet has vowed to launch more nutritious and innovative products going forward.
“The more people embrace plant-based food the better the world will be. That’s why our ambition is to help as many people as possible eat more plant-based versions of the food they love,” said Nikki Adamo, head of plant-based food for Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
Garden Gourmet recently introduced marinated filet pieces as alternatives to chicken. A new version of its Sensational Burger is coming soon, and its pea-based alternative to tuna will launch into further European markets in the near future.
