Rebellyous Foods, an alternative meat producer, has partnered with RMS Foods to launch Mock 2, a new production system for plant-based meat products. The partnership is expected to advance manufacturing capabilities, create high-skilled jobs, and drive economic growth in the New Mexico region.

Mock 2 is a fully continuous, automated, and chilled dough substrate processing system capable of producing 2,500–5,000 lb/hr of various plant-based meat products on a single processing line. The system aims to lower production costs, improve energy efficiency, minimize waste, and provide a safer work environment.

Analyst QuickTake: This partnership adds to Rebellyous Foods' efforts in expanding its operations. It partnered with Vizient, a healthcare group purchasing organization, for the distribution of its plant-based chicken products for the public sector in November 2023 . It also partnered with Chicago Public Schools in May 2024 to integrate plant-based chicken and waffles into the menus of ~100 schools.
