Any product that can replace a similar animal-based product, such as butter with margarine, cow milk with soy milk, and chicken meat with wheat gluten or meat analogues. These PBA products can originate from a broad range of sources such as plants, fungi, and microorganisms. PBA meat analogues on the other hand, will specifically refer to plant-based proteins that have been structured into meats, to resemble meat textures, such as meat striations and meat emulsions, with or without the incorporation of fat marbling and/or flavour enhancers.
