US agribusiness giant Cargill has launched a new plant-based protein consumer brand in China. The company says the new products will help meet the demand for nutritious, great-tasting alternative protein options.

The launch follows the company's success selling plant-based chicken nuggets through the KFC restaurant chain in China, it said.

The brand known as PlantEver is offering two plant-based products: a chicken-alternative nugget and beef-alternative patty.
