IKEA’S NEW MEATIER VEGAN MEATBALLS TO LAUNCH IN SEPTEMBER

宜家家居（IKEA）将在九月份全新推出“更多肉的”纯素肉丸

“At IKEA, we sell more than one billion meatballs every year. Imagine if we could get some of our many meatball lovers to choose the plant-ball instead,” IKEA’s Health & Sustainability Manager Sharla Halvorson said.

宜家家居的健康与可持续发展经理莎拉·哈尔弗森（Sharla Halvorson）表示：“每年我们在宜家家居商店售出10多亿个肉丸。试想一下，如果我们可以让本店许多肉丸爱好者中的一部分人改为选购植物肉丸。”

On September 28, furniture retailer IKEA will add a new plant-based Swedish meatball to its bistro menu at stores nationwide. Dubbed the “plant ball,” the new option—which builds on an existing plant-based meatball that IKEA launched in 2015—is made from yellow pea protein, oats, potatoes, onion, and apple. The new plant ball carries a mere 4 percent of the carbon footprint of IKEA’s traditional meat-based Swedish meatball.

9月28日，家具零售商宜家家居（IKEA）将在其美国各地的店内餐厅菜单上增加新的用植物材料制作的瑞典肉丸。宜家家居早在2015年就推出了用植物材料制作的肉丸，而今年这款被称为“植物肉丸”的新美食是在其基础上加以改进的产品，所采用的制作材料为黄豌豆蛋白、燕麦、土豆、洋葱和苹果。宜家家居新植物肉丸生产造成的碳足迹（carbon footprint）仅为其用动物肉类生产的传统瑞典肉丸的4%。

“At IKEA, we sell more than one billion meatballs every year. Imagine if we could get some of our many meatball lovers to choose the plant-ball instead,” Sharla Halvorson, Health & Sustainability Manager for IKEA’s global food business, said. “If we were to convert about 20 percent of our meatball sales to plant balls, that would mean around 8 percent reduction of our climate footprint for the food business at IKEA. In order to reduce the climate footprint of the IKEA food business, we need to reduce the amount of traditional meatballs that we sell. With the new plant ball, we can now offer meat lovers a more sustainable alternative—without compromising on the IKEA meatball experience that is loved by so many.”

“每年我们在宜家家居商店售出10多亿个肉丸。试想一下，如果我们可以让本店许多肉丸爱好者中的一部分人改为选购植物肉丸，”宜家家居全球餐饮业务的健康与可持续发展经理莎拉·哈尔弗森说道。“如果我们将销售的大约20%的动物肉丸替换为植物肉丸，那么宜家家居的餐饮业务就可以减少8%左右的气候足迹（climate footprint）。为了缩小宜家家居餐饮业务的气候足迹，我们需要减少销售的传统动物肉丸数量。随着新植物肉丸的推出，我们如今可以为肉食爱好者提供更可持续发展的替代食品──而且毫不逊色于那么多人爱吃宜家家居肉丸的体验。”

The new plant ball will be served with mashed potatoes, lingonberries, vegetables, and cream sauce (not vegan) and available for the same price ($5.99 for an adult plate) as its meat-based option. The plant balls will also be sold in 500-gram frozen bags under the name “HUVUDROLL” for $5.99 in the store’s grocery section.

新植物肉丸将搭配土豆泥、越桔、蔬菜和奶油酱（非纯素食）出售给食客，售价跟动物肉丸食品的相同（成人每盘5.99美元）。在宜家家居商店的食品区，新植物肉丸还将有名为“HUVUDROLL”的500克冷冻袋装产品出售，其售价也是5.99美元。

Prior to its US launch, the plant ball will be available in Europe in August.

新植物肉丸将在八月份先登陆欧洲，随后（到九月份）在美国推出。
