US Army Issues Call to Make Plant-Based Meat for Military MREs

The US Army has announced a bid for companies and researchers to develop alternative proteins for military Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MREs).

The Army seeks partnerships to explore innovative technologies, particularly in plant-based and fermentation-derived proteins, ahead of introducing vegan options in 2027. This move could significantly impact the alternative protein market and military nutrition standards.
