SIAL Innovation 2026
Product selected by the jury.
Meat Heritage's collection of ready-to-cook deep-frozen meat has been recognised as an innovation by the international SIAL Innovation 2026 jury.
About us
Ready-to-cook meat, designed for the way people cook today.
Why we created this range
People don't always know in advance when they will cook, for how many, or how much meat they will need. Fresh meat can call for careful planning, and many frozen formats are hard to portion or to use straight away.
We created a range of deep-frozen meat to make everyday cooking simpler: the product waits in the freezer, can be cooked straight from frozen and lets you use only the amount you need.
We didn't set out to reinvent frozen meat. We set out to make it truly useful in everyday cooking.
What makes it different
The meat is prepared in practical cooking formats, quick-frozen and packed in a resealable doypack. You open the pack, take out what you need and cook it straight from frozen. The innovation lies in bringing all of this together into one consistent product experience that makes frozen meat easier to buy, store, portion and cook.
