Jerusalem, 28 October, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israeli food-tech company Meala FoodTech has more than tripled production capacity at facilities in Germany and France, positioning it to replace the equivalent of 1,400 tons of eggs in food products in 2027. The Haifa-based company develops pea-protein ingredients that replicate eggs’ texturizing functions in baked goods and plant-based meat alternatives.
Meala said its ingredients can reduce formulation costs by 30% to 40% in bakery applications while helping manufacturers manage supply disruptions and price volatility. A life-cycle assessment by a Dutch university found its pea protein had a 63% lower carbon footprint and 96% lower water footprint per kilogram of protein than egg powder.
