Student-Approved Blended Meats

Joyn Foods' 50Cut Mushroom Blend combines real beef and umami mushrooms to create blended meat that uses over 95% less land and 99% less water than beef. Beyond being appealing for lowering the environmental impact of meat, the hybrid meat is lower in fat with reduced calories, and packed with benefits from antioxidant-rich, nutritious mushrooms.

Joyn Foods recently secured approval on the South Carolina Purchasing Alliance bid, giving school districts across the state a simplified pathway to purchase its blended meat products. In tastings at K-12 schools in South Carolina’s Berkeley County, students chose Joyn Foods' blended meat over conventional beef, with 50Cut meatballs approved by 96% and burgers by 92%.

As far as operators are concerned, 50Cut prepares and serves just like beef, and requires no special training or equipment to incorporate into menus.
