Alternative Proteins

ICL develops plant-based proteins that are virtually indistinguishable from traditional meat products, helping companies to meet the growing demand for sustainable food. \

ICL is developing products that enable its customers to replace meat protein with plant-based proteins. Plant based proteins require much less resources than meat-based proteins. ICL’s products enable companies to make a variety of food products that are based on alternative proteins. It has developed proprietary technology to produce vegetable-based proteins that are virtually indistinguishable from traditional meat products. This portfolio, known as the ROVITARIS® System, transforms proteins to fibrous textures, as well as, textures and emulsions, enabling consumers who wish to reduce their meat consumption to do so without compromising on taste or texture

ICL has developed proprietary technology, enabling the manufacturing of vegetable-based proteins that are virtually indistinguishable from traditional meat products. Using standard food processing equipment, ICL’s dedicated scientists have found ways to create a wide range of tailor-made products including burgers, chicken nuggets, fish fingers, meatballs and sausages, among others.

ICL Food Specialties unit has won numerous awards for this technology, including the 2019 Fi Innovation Award: Protein Category in Paris, France, and the 2018 FiSA tradeshow Most Innovative Ingredient Award in South America.

Along with growing challenges to our environment and climate, public awareness and concern is increasing. Many consumers are lessening their ecological footprint by reducing meat consumption and switching to meatless alternatives. Plant-based protein sources consume less water and produce less CO2 compared to the production of conventional animal protein, making them a more sustainable and less environmentally impactful food choice.

New Alternative-Protein Facility

ICL’s new alternative-protein facility was opened at the end of 2021. The facility produces a plant-based meat substitute for use by food companies, food-service distributors, restaurants, and grocery chains. The investment in the facility represents an expansion of ICL’s global food specialties portfolio and the Company’s focus on developing healthier and more sustainable food products.
