[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] CJ Freshway announced on the 15th that it will introduce a 'No-meat burger' made from plant-based ingredients to school meals.

The No-meat Cheese Cutlet Burger is made from plant-based ingredients that minimize carbon emissions during the manufacturing process. CJ Freshway plans to focus on introducing the new product into school meals. This is to convey the seriousness of the climate crisis to students using school meals and to propose eco-friendly eating habits as practical measures to mitigate it.

The main ingredients include a cheese cutlet made from non-GMO soy protein, vegan chipotle sauce that adds a sweet and spicy flavor, and vegan hamburger buns. The vegetables for the burger use mini cos lettuce produced in smart farms.

The new product is launched as a large-capacity meal kit serving about 30 portions. The large-capacity meal kit for group meals, also called the 'Meal Solution for School Meals,' allows ordering ingredients used in the menu as a set, reducing nutritionists' concerns about recipes. Pre-processed ingredients and ready-made sauces are individually packaged to simplify the cooking process. CJ Freshway operates a total of nine meal solution menus for school meals, including the No-meat Cheese Cutlet Burger.

A CJ Freshway official said, "Along with increased awareness of the climate crisis, demand for environmentally friendly eating habits, such as reducing excessive meat consumption, is growing," adding, "Reflecting the trend of value consumption regarding food, we will continue to introduce sustainable food that helps form a healthy food culture for future generations and includes environmental protection elements."
