“…In 2021, global meat consumption was estimated to be 328 million metric tons and is expected to increase approximately 70% by 2050 (7,8,28,29) . High intakes of red and processed meat have been associated with increased risk of non-communicable diseases including type 2 diabetes, colorectal cancer and reduced life expectancy (30)(31)(32)(33)(34). Indeed, the World Health Organisation (WHO) classifies red meat as a Group 2A carcinogen (likely cause of cancer) and processed meats as a Group 1 carcinogen (known cause of cancer) (35) , with the World Cancer Research Fund recommending restriction of red meat consumption to three or less portions per week and avoidance or restriction of processed meat (36) .…”

“…Animal welfare has long been a driver of meat-avoidance though concerns regarding differing global meat rearing standards and live animal transportation issues continue to influence the gradual reduction in meat consumption in both the UK and worldwide (26,32,109) . The reported degree of its relative importance as a driver of both meat-avoidance and adoption of PBMAs varies however, with some studies suggesting it to be a key factor (amongst ~45-65% of respondents) (82,83,110) and others suggesting it is of lesser importance (81,111,112) .…”

Novel plant-based meat alternatives: future opportunities and health considerations

Present food systems threaten population and environmental health. Evidence suggests reduced meat and increased plant-based food consumption would align with climate change and health promotion priorities. Accelerating this transition requires greater understanding of determinants of plant-based food choice. A thriving plant-based food industry has emerged to meet consumer demand and support dietary shift towards plant-based eating. ‘Traditional’ plant-based diets are low-energy density, nutrient dense, low in saturated fat and purportedly associated with health benefits. However, fast-paced contemporary lifestyles continue to fuel growing demand for meat-mimicking plant-based convenience foods which are typically ultra-processed. Processing can improve product safety and palatability and enable fortification and enrichment. However, deleterious health consequences have been associated with ultra-processing, though there is a paucity of equivocal evidence regarding the health value of novel plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs) and their capacity to replicate the nutritional profile of meat-equivalents. Thus, despite the health halo often associated with plant-based eating, there is a strong rationale to improve consumer literacy of PBMAs. Understanding the impact of extensive processing on health effects may help to justify the use of innovative methods designed to maintain health benefits associated with particular foods and ingredients. Furthering knowledge regarding the nutritional value of novel PBMAs will increase consumer awareness and thus support informed choice. Finally, knowledge of factors influencing engagement of target consumer subgroups with such products may facilitate production of desirable, healthier PBMAs. Such evidence-based food manufacturing practice has the potential to positively influence future individual and planetary health.

“…The launch of new products is also essential to offer more choices to the consumer beyond classic meat products, such as burgers, minced meat, sausages, and nuggets [ 15 , 54 ]. Additionally, the price of PBMSs need to be reduced to make these products attractive to the public [ 77 , 99 ]. As some consumers compare PBM products to meat, the most effective strategy would be to set them below meat.…”

Dietary habits have a substantial influence on both planet and individual health. High intake of animal products has significant negative effects on the environment and on human health; hence, a reduction in meat consumption is necessary. The transition towards plant-based meat (PBM) is one of the potential solutions for environmental and health issues. To achieve this goal, it is important to understand the dietary habits and demands of consumers. This review was designed with a focus on PBM alternatives, dietary shifts during the COVID-19 pandemic, the drivers of consumers’ perceptions in various countries, and the measures that can promote the shift towards PBM. The PBM market is predicted to grow with rising awareness, familiarity, and knowledge in the coming years. Companies must focus on the categories of anticipated benefits to aid consumers in making the switch to a diet higher in PBM alternatives if they want to win over the target market.

“…In the frame of the transition towards plant-based diets, non-animal alternatives to meat, fish, egg and dairy are on the rise globally due to ethical, environmental, and health concerns. Nevertheless, the off-flavour of plant-based ingredients/foods, the lack of animal-like experience, and consumer attitude (e.g., meat lovers and neophobic eaters) are holding back this new segment to go mainstream ( Bryant, 2022 ; Giacalone et al, 2022 ; Ishaq et al, 2022 ). For this reason, a lot of investments are flowing into plant-based research institutes and companies to find solutions.…”
