Nestlé has launched a range of plant-based alternatives to white fish to meet the rising demand for vegan food.
The products include alternatives to breaded fish fillets, nuggets, and fingers, with the taste, nutrition, and texture claimed to be close to white fish.
Torsten Pohl, Global Head of R&D for Nestlé’s food category, said: “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 consumer’s 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.”
Nestlé is rolling out the three different types of fish alternatives across Europe and Asia under its Garden Gourmet brand.
The new launches complement Nestlé’s Garden Gourmet Vuna, an alternative to tuna fish that has been available in Europe since 2020, as well as its wide-ranging plant-based portfolio.
