Balanced Proteins
MEAT IN THE MIDDLE
Balanced Proteins (BPs) are meat products that preserve—or even enhance—the taste of conventional meat while diversifying the nutritional profile and reducing environmental impact by replacing at least 30% of animal ingredients with alternative proteins or whole plant-based foods.
