​The Grocer’s New Product & Packaging Awards 2023: Plant-Based Meat Alternatives

Champion: Juicy Marbles Thick-Cut Filet

“Extraordinary product – the look and feel of a steak for a vegan.” That was the standout feedback for this Juicy Marbles line, which used thousands of fibres of plant-based protein and ribbons of natural fat to create a “whole muscle” steak texture. 

Judges waxed lyrical about the “incredible product”, which was “texturally amazing” with an “incredibly impressive” appearance. All in all, the panel saw this as a huge step forward for the meat alternatives category.
