FOOD ENGINEERING Magazine Announces Sustainable Plant of the Year Award Winner
Meati Foods’ facility in Thornton, Colo., has won FOOD ENGINEERING magazine’s Sustainable Plant of the Year. Called the Mega Ranch, the 100,000-sq.-ft. facility produces the company’s alternative protein food products based on mycelium, the root-like structure of fungus.
Meati Foods will be presented with the Sustainable Plant of the Year award following a session about the Mega Ranch at the Food Automation & Manufacturing Symposium and Expo (FA&M), which will be held April 7-9, at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point in Bonita Springs, Fla. The plant will be featured in the July issue of FOOD ENGINEERING.
