Vitacel Compound MGN 150 provides "the maximum indulgence of minced meat products – enriched with fibres and fat reduced".

Monika Wagner, Project Manager for Advertising/Marketing for JRS, discussed how nutritional advantages, combined with specific functional properties, allows product creations “which nobody in the food industry considered possible some years ago. By using the Vitacel compounds it is now possible to achieve a calorie reduction and fibre enrichtment in meat products at the same time.
