Don’t let rising beef meat prices eat into your margins

With beef meat prices rising rapidly and reaching a 5-year high, a good way to counter these high prices is more than welcome. Without compromising the quality of your meat products, of course. We have the solution: get more out of your beef meat by extending it.

Tasty and cost-effective

In 2019, Sonac launched a texturized animal protein called QExtend Beef PF12. This can replace up to 20% of the initial beef meat content without compromising its eating quality.

Here you can see the results of a survey at Anuga which compared the quality of a typical hamburger (the reference product) with one in which 10% of the meat content was replaced with QExtend Beef PF12.

The results were clear: no difference in eating quality (texture, bite, juiciness, overall eating quality) was experienced.

A sustainable and attractive option

Besides the cost benefits, QExtend Beef PF12 is also a very sustainable option. By utilizing the edible co-products of beef meat, it reduces the CO2 footprint of your meat products and contributes to a circular food system.

What’s more, our QExtend products (both beef and pork) have now been enhanced with a soft, reddish meat color. This helps your meat to retain its desirability and authentic appeal.
