The U.S. Army<\/a> is looking for meatless proteins for field<\/a> rations. It also wants to manufacture such proteins<\/a> on the front lines to ease burdens on the supply chain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service, according to a Sources Sought notice<\/u><\/a> from the Combat Feeding Division of the Army\u2019s Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center, \u201cis exploring how the emerging alternative-protein sector can help meet several objectives, including enhancing food supply<\/a> chain resilience, enabling biomanufacturing of foodstuffs in combat-forward environments, and providing tailored, high-quality nutrition to the warfighter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titled \u201cAlternative Protein Technologies for Military Field Feeding,\u201d the notice, which lists a deadline of May 15, is aimed at industry and academia that can work with the Army to develop technologies for manufacturing alternative proteins that soldiers will actually eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One track seeks \u201cadvanced technologies and processes, involved in fermentation, precision fermentation, or other novel biomanufacturing methods, that enhance the production of alternative proteins,\u201d the notice reads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese technologies should focus on creating lightweight and nutrient-dense ration solutions to reduce logistical burdens and physical load on warfighters while maintaining or enhancing nutritional value and operational performance.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another track is to explore product development to create meatless proteins that are lightweight, nutritious, shelf-stable and \u201cpalatable.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army also seeks partners who can help with consumer research, such as focus groups and tasting panels, to determine what military personnel like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also wanted are contractors who can provide food samples of alternative proteins that the FDA has classified as Generally Recognized as Safe, or GRAS, products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese prototypes will be provided to the government for sensory acceptability and other performance characteristics and will be consumed by our test panel of experts,\u201d the notice said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alternative protein project is part of an Army Broad Agency Announcement<\/u><\/a> published last year. It included research into combat rations, personal protective gear and other equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It follows an Army plan announced last year to offer plant-based MREs, a decision that delighted vegan and animal rights<\/u><\/a> groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to a mandate by Congress, the Navy<\/u><\/a> began testing plant-based meats on its menus in 2023, while the Air Force offers meatless dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While military rations have unique requirements such as remaining edible under harsh conditions, they do have to follow culinary trends in the larger society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, coming to the 2026 MRE menu<\/u><\/a> are Buffalo Chicken, Cuban beef picadillo and Thai red chicken curry, meals that would have been regarded with disbelief \u2014 or appreciation \u2014 by GIs eating C-Ration meat stew in WWII, or the infamous ham and lima beans in Vietnam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant-based meats, such as Beyond Burger, and non-dairy cheeses soared in popularity a decade ago. However, sales of plant-based meats have recently slumped<\/u><\/a> as prices rose and consumers became concerned that faux-meat products are heavily processed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, demand for beef<\/u><\/a> soared in 2025. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
