Schouten Europe unveils plant-based fillet using proprietary fibre technology
Dutch meat alternatives company Schouten Europe has launched a new plant-based fillet featuring a proprietary fibre structure designed to deliver improved texture, functionality and sustainability credentials.
The 95g fillet represents what the company describes as a ‘next step’ in its ongoing development of meat alternatives, combining a firm, meat-like bite with reduced processing requirements.
Niek-Jan Schouten, CEO, said: “With this fillet, we are taking a next step that is relevant for both our partners and the consumer.”
The launch comes amid growing scrutiny of production methods within the plant-based sector, particularly around energy-intensive texturization processes and globally sourced ingredients.
Schouten’s new fibre-based approach aims to address these concerns by simplifying structure formation. Internal analyses suggest the technology could reduce environmental impact by approximately 10–30%, depending on formulation and supply chain factors.
“Our R&D department has worked hard over the past year on further developing our fibre technology. Texturization is the process by which protein is transformed into a fibrous structure that resembles meat,” Schouten added.
The company says the fillet has been engineered to deliver on both sensory and functional performance. It features a light, chicken-like colour and is designed to remain juicy during cooking, an area where some meat alternatives struggle.
The product is suitable for hot applications and marinates effectively, with a pre-marinated version also available for chilled uses. Its structure is created using 3D shaping technology to achieve a recognisable whole-cut format.
Nutritionally, the fillet carries a Nutri-Score A and offers high levels of protein and fibre. It can also be fortified with iron and vitamin B12, aligning with growing demand for nutritionally complete plant-based options.
Founded in 1990, Schouten Europe has positioned itself as one of the early pioneers in plant-based protein development in the Netherlands. The company supplies a broad private-label portfolio across more than 50 countries and continues to focus on tailored product development for retail and foodservice partners.
