Hybrid Meat Products

Maple Leaf 50/50 is Made of Half Premium Meat, Half Plant-Based Protein

— June 17, 2020 — Lifestyle
Maple Leaf 50/50 is a new fusion of meat and plant-based protein that helps to offer flexitarians the best of both worlds in a single bite. While there's now plenty of room for consumers to choose either meat products or plant-based alternatives, this new choice offers a simple way for meat eaters to enjoy a split of 50% premium meat and 50% plant-based and natural ingredients.

The Maple Leaf 50/50 products are being introduced in the form of a burger, dinner sausages, breakfast sausages and grounds, all of which have the potential to help people reduce their meat consumption and make more sustainable choices. Notably, the products boast a new Carbon Zero logo to reflect Maple Leaf Foods as the world's first major carbon-neutral food company.
