CJ BIO Unveils Affordable Solutions to Enhance Meat Quality in Europe

Innovative Solutions for Europe's Meat Industry

In response to the growing challenges faced by the European meat processing industry, CJ BIO has introduced its TasteNrich® solutions aimed at improving meat quality while maintaining cost efficiency. The European meat market is currently under significant pressure due to increasing raw material costs and stricter formulation requirements, which are essential for meeting the rising consumer demand for cleaner, healthier products.

According to a report by Mordor Intelligence (2025), the European meat processing and seasoning market is facing a dual pressure; on one side, there's the escalating cost of raw materials, and on the other, the heightened expectations for clean-label formulations. The seasoning market alone, valued at approximately USD 9.7 billion, boasts a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 8% as per Future Market Insights (2025). Within this landscape, products featuring clean labels are increasingly favored, accounting for 35% of new food product launches in Europe, as indicated by Innova Market Insights (2025). Such formulations, characterized by transparency and allergen-free ingredients, are becoming decisive factors in consumer purchasing decisions.

Sun Woong Kim, the head of CJ BIO's Taste Nutrition Business in Europe, recognizes the pressing need for meat producers to adapt. "Producers across Europe are required to deliver more with less. Reducing phosphates while maintaining yield, flavor, and texture has become a competitive standard, not just an option. Our TasteNrich® solutions are designed to deliver value in this respect."

Cost-Effective Solutions from TasteNrich®

TasteNrich® is represented by two well-established solutions designed to deliver performance at attractive costs:

1. TasteNrich® VMEET MB01 - This clean-label meat flavor enhancer offers authentic umami taste at an optimized price. Particularly tailored to enhance the medium notes of meat flavors, VMEET MB01 serves as a cost-effective alternative to traditional umami enhancers, without compromising on flavor depth. Additionally, it’s allergen-free, catering perfectly to the European market's demand for transparent formulations.

2. TasteNrich® HYBIND - Developed as a natural alternative to phosphates, HYBIND helps producers reduce or substitute phosphates without sacrificing functionality while enhancing overall taste experience. This solution improves water retention capacity and texture stability, providing a clean-label positioning that aligns with consumers' desires for more natural meat products.

Generating Value in a Competitive Market

With cost efficiency becoming a crucial factor for large-scale transformers, innovations that ensure better yield and flavor while minimizing additives hold significant value in the B2B meat sector (FoodIngredientsFirst, 2024). CJ BIO's TasteNrich® portfolio aligns with these requirements, offering cost-effective, performance-oriented solutions that meet the ever-evolving regulatory and consumer expectations in Europe.

"CJ BIO is committed to equipping European meat processing companies with the tools needed to enhance their competitiveness, combining scientific innovation with market-ready cost efficiency," states Sun Woong Kim. "TasteNrich® is more than just an ingredient; it’s a pathway to sustainable growth."
