Hi, I’m Casey Flanagan with ProFood World. Rebellyous Foods is narrowing the cost and quality gap between plant-based and traditional meats with its Mock 2 Production System.

The Seattle-based company launched the system at RMS Foods’ New Mexico facility in September, introducing a fully integrated, automated approach designed specifically for plant-based meat production.

Christie Lagally, Founder and CEO, Rebellyous Foods: “It’s a continuous production system. It tends to have a little less arduous labor involved, so a little less lifting, things like that. It emulsifies oil, water, and starch. It mixes hydrated protein and does so in a continuous fashion to reach almost 5,000 lbs an hour.”

Rebellyous previously used processing equipment designed for animal-based protein for its production. This brought the company to market, but presented challenges like high labor demands, material waste, and high costs.

That’s why it developed the Mock 2 system—to produce plant-based meat with equipment built for the job. It cuts back on labor requirements, energy consumption, and physical footprint, eliminates the need for a chilled work environment, and includes a digital system to manage recipes, temperature, and ingredient mixing.
