Summary
Perfecta Plant-Based Filet Mignon scores 1/100. It is a 3D-printed imitation filet from Steakholder Foods: a soy-flour paste bound with methylcellulose, colored with beetroot powder and caramel coloring, and flavored with an unnamed natural flavoring. Rapeseed oil supplies the fat, with some coconut oil. Nine ingredients deliver 18 g of protein and 560 mg of sodium per filet, with no actual meat, no whole food, and a NOVA 4 ultra-processed formulation.
