What if We Told You Healthy and Tasty Luncheon Meat Do Exist? Kids Approved Too!

Processed meats are convenient, and we can’t deny, delicious choices especially when we are pressed for time and ideas.

While they are big on taste, they are, however, also high in sodium and saturated fat, and we know these are very bad for health! Not to mention, the manufacturing processes, ingredients sources, quality of the meats, and hygiene of the factory site of some of these products are questionable, too.

As mums, I think it is fair to say that we all share one common goal, which is to ensure our children get delicious meals and good nutrition, all prepped in hygienic ways and environment. I mean, surely that is not too much to ask, right?

Taste & Health in a Can

Well, of course not! You can enjoy good taste and health, now all in a convenient can! As parents ourselves, we are excited to share with you the all-new Yumeat (pronounced as YUMeat), a purely plant-based meat products! Packed full of flavour, Yumeat products are made from non-meat ingredients (such as beans, wheat, oats, and mushrooms!) and are ready to be consumed or cooked in an instant. What we get then is the meaty flavour we come to love in our favourite dishes but without the meaty nasties that are found in processed meats.

What is Yumeat?

Yumeat has a strict raw material supply selection process that guarantees all its ingredients are responsibly sourced and are non-GMO. The products are formulated to contain more fibre, less fat and saturated fat, and less sodium. The entire flow from formulating to manufacturing is overseen by the brand’s in-house R&D, certified nutritionists, and stringent QC processes to ensure every product is produced with the highest quality for its consumers.

What Makes Yumeat Special?

As Yumeat products are pre-cooked and underwent high-temperature treatment equivalent to sterilisation, there are safe to be eaten hot or cold—whether your kids like to enjoy it right out of its packaging—sauté, fry, deep fry, grill, or steam, you will still wow your little (and the big) ones at home! It is also worth noting that the Yumeat range is vegan-friendly and Halal-certified, a great quick go-to for every busy parent! Well, definitely our favourite go-to now!

Why Go Plant-Based? A Mission Worth Fighting For

By 2050, it is estimated that the global population will rise to a whopping 10 billion. Yumeat believes that plant protein will offer a more sustainable option to address the food source insecurity issue—one that is healthier for humans, safer for animals, and better for the planet.

The vision, therefore, has led the leading food producer on a mission to provide innovative meat-alternative products which contribute to global sustainability goals. Yumeat range of quality plant-based meat is the proud result!
