Plant-based Nuggets Outperform Meat In ‘World’s Largest’ Taste Test
Plant-based chicken nuggets outperformed meat in a blind taste test
A recent study found that multiple plant-based chicken nuggets outperformed animal-based varieties in a taste test.
Described as the “world’s first and largest public sensory analysis of plant-based meats,” the study found that a majority of the 1,150 American participants preferred the flavor of plant-based chicken nuggets over traditional, animal-based ones.
This “category-specific deep dive” on plant-based vs animal nuggets was published on page 117 of “Taste of the Industry 2024,” the inaugural report from NECTAR – a new initiative from Food System Innovations (FSI) aimed at “accelerating the protein transition with taste.”
