ADM announced Monday the launch of eight new protein products across North America and Europe, expanding its plant-based portfolio as consumer demand for diverse protein sources continues to grow.
Meeting consumer demand
The Chicago-based company’s new offerings include six soy-based products and two pea protein ingredients, designed to serve applications ranging from meat alternatives to beverages and baked goods.
Globally, 66% of consumers look to increase their protein intake, and 86% believe it’s healthier to get protein from a wide variety of sources, according to ADM’s 2025 consumer research.
“Protein is one of the most dynamic areas of nutrition, with consumers now asking for more variety, functionality and choices than ever before,” said Greg Dodson, vice president of protein for North America at ADM.
Product lineup
The new products include ProFam 883 and ProFam 894 soy protein isolates for beverages and dairy alternatives, and Arcon IH, Arcon SB and Arcon 412 soy protein concentrates for meat applications.
The company also introduced a pea flour that requires no allergen labeling and works in batters, breadings and baked goods. The ingredient is gluten-free and non-GMO.
For European markets, ADM launched European-sourced Arcon R and Arcon T soy protein concentrates designed for meat alternatives and plant-based products.
Building on decades of innovation
ADM’s plant-based protein legacy dates to the 1960s, when the company introduced the world’s first textured vegetable protein.
“By expanding our protein portfolio, we’re giving customers more precise, functional solutions that will perform across a wide range of applications,” said Tony Payne, senior director of creation, design and development at ADM.
The company operates protein innovation facilities in Decatur, Illinois; Wageningen, Netherlands; Serbia; and Hortolândia, Brazil, enabling regionally sourced supply tailored to local market needs.
