A key theme was consumer perception, with Burdorf noting that the term 'hybrid' can be confusing unless it is communicated as a natural upgrade rather than a compromise.Meinlschmidt focused on the importance of future-proofing plant-based formulations so they can integrate seamlessly with cultivated fats and cells as they become commercially viable, highlighting their potential to enhance juiciness, flavor, and clean-label positioning.Together, they outlined how hybrid formats could act as a practical, near-term bridge toward more sustainable diets, with success depending on strong technical functionality, regulatory progress, and clear, effective communication.Powered by Protein Production Technology International","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/tUifNxYi7y1wl92YvdM05mMBe8G47RO6Jcub5_A_xxY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM5MjkxLzE2OTk5/NTU4MzQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
