As more people embrace meat-free diets for health, environmental, and ethical reasons, the focus on plant-based alternatives has never been more important. These innovative products replicate the taste, texture, and appearance of traditional meat, offering options for vegetarians, vegans, and flexitarians alike.

From allergen testing to sensory evaluations, advanced technologies like mass spectrometry are transforming how we analyze food products. These methods protect consumers, enhance trust, and pave the way for a healthier, more sustainable food system.
Whether it’s testing for contaminants, analyzing nutritional profiles, or differentiating bacterial species, food science is at the forefront of creating safer, high-quality products that meet growing consumer demands.
