Proven, Cost-Effective Yield Gains with Proteus?

For meat and poultry processors it can be challenging to balance cost and quality, especially when raw material prices are increasing, and profit margins are shrinking. Even cost-conscious consumers have high expectations when it comes to the quality and flavor of their purchases—leaving manufacturers to find a solution that delights shoppers.

Taste and cost are shoppers’ top purchase drivers; 87% say taste is a top consideration, followed by cost at 76%. (1)

With food prices on the rise, particularly meat products, there is a need for a solution that helps mitigate costs without sacrificing the consumer eating experience.

With Proteus?, manufacturers have a solution that can increase yield—and therefore lower costs—while improving texture and quality.
