Nestlé has introduced Maggi Rindecarne, a plant-based meat extender, as part of its commitment to developing affordable and nutritious food options.

Maggi Rindecarne is a blend of soy and spices that can be combined with minced meat to effectively double the number of servings, while retaining the nutritional value and familiar taste and texture of traditional mincemeat dishes.

Swen Rabe, head of Nestlé's Product and Technology Center for Food, said: "Our team of experts and chefs developed a tailored solution which brings an equivalent amount of protein in an affordable way to consumers in Latin America".

He continued: "Our innovation ensures the familiar taste and texture of mincemeat, is shelf-stable and easy to use".

This latest launch builds on Nestlé's ongoing efforts to expand its affordable food range by incorporating plant-based proteins.

In 2022, the company piloted a shelf-stable, plant-based protein blend designed to complement egg dishes in Latin America, and developed an affordable and nutritious beverage solution made by combining milk and locally sourced soy for the Central and West African markets.

Nestlé's focus on affordable, plant-based food solutions aligns with its broader commitment to developing products that maximise nutrition, affordability, and sustainability.

Other recent Maggi launches, such as Maggi Soya Chunks and Maggi Veg, have also provided meat-alternative options to cater to the evolving dietary preferences of consumers.

"Nestlé is committed to developing affordable foods and beverages that include nutritious plant-based proteins, helping people to achieve adequate and balanced diets," the company said in a statement.

Maggi Rindecarne is currently available in Chile, and the company plans to expand the product's reach to other Latin American markets in the coming months.
