Nestlé is dedicated to introduce affordable foods and beverages that include nutritious plant-based proteins promoting balanced and accessible diets for all. In accordance with this commitment, Nestlé has recently developed Maggi Rindecarne – a flavorful, plant-based meat alternative. The blend of soy and spices allows consumers to prepare a dish combining meat and plant-based proteins, effectively doubling the serving size at an affordable cost.
When adding Maggi Rindecarne to minced meat, the prepared dish retains its nutritional value without compromising on taste. Additionally, it is versatile and customizable and can be used to prepare all minced meat top dishes. Maggi’s first meat extender is currently available in Chile.
“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. Our innovation ensures the familiar taste and texture of mincemeat, is shelf-stable and easy-to-use.”

This latest innovation builds on Nestlé’s approach to developing solutions that combine animal and plant-based ingredients, maximizing nutrition, affordability and sustainability. It follows the pilot launch of a shelf-stable, plant-based protein blend in 2022, which was developed to complement egg dishes in a nutritious, and affordable way in Latin America. For Central and West Africa, Nestlé developed an affordable and nutritious beverage solution made of combining milk and locally sourced soy.
Nestlé’s efforts to expand its food range also include recent launches, such as the affordable Maggi Soya Chunks or Maggi Veg. Both offer meat-alternative options to cater to the evolving dietary preferences of consumers.
