MLA - Meat & Livestock Australia

More than three years of CSIRO research, supported by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), has led to an exciting new product concept: a high protein powder from red meat.

This nutrient-dense, shelf-stable ingredient can add a protein punch to any food product.

The new, allergen-free meat protein powder could represent an important value-add to Australia’s beef sector, while addressing growing global demands for high quality protein.

From farmers to meat processors, manufacturers, and brand developers, we've explored diverse applications for this meat powder. Whether it's enhancing the nutritional profile of protein powder for gym goers or in aged care, fortifying protein balls, bars and beverages, or powering energy drinks and supplements, the possibilities are endless.

The team is currently exploring suitable commercialisation pathways. CSIRO and MLA are pleased to showcase this exciting new product concept at Beef 2024.
