Spotlight: 50/50 Foods

Meet 50/50 Foods, Inc… innovator for the flexitarian community and the “#SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day” for May 23.

50/50 Foods Inc. is a forward-thinking food company founded on a simple but transformative idea: reduce meat consumption by blending it 50/50 with vegetables.

On a mission “to cut meat consumption in half by delivering exceptional foods to the large and growing population of flexitarians,” 50/50 offers their flagship product, the Both™ Burger, as a combination of premium beef with wholesome plant ingredients to create a flavorful, satisfying burger that cuts animal protein in half without compromising taste or texture. Designed with flexitarians in mind, 50/50 Foods is not about eliminating meat entirely — it’s about meeting consumers where they are and offering a more sustainable middle ground that feels less like sacrifice or compromise and more approachable, familiar and delicious instead.

The sustainability impact of 50/50 Foods lies in their commitment to helping consumers make a meaningful difference without drastically changing their diets. As stated by 50/50 Foods, beef alone accounts for ~14% of total global GHG emissions, over 50% of total freshwater usage and over 60% of total agricultural land use. By reducing meat content by 50%, their products help lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduce water use and ease pressure on agricultural land — all while supporting a shift toward healthier, more plant-forward eating patterns.

In a food landscape often polarized between “all meat” and “no meat,” 50/50 Foods is carving out space for realistic progress, offering an appealing path for the growing number of flexitarians who want to lower their environmental footprint without sacrificing flavor.

The Both™ Burger from 50/50 Foods Inc. is available at select restaurants and retailers – including Thrive Market and Pavilions -- as well as on the Galactic Grill menu at Disneyland (the first commercial blended burger on the menu of a public company).
