Ikea developing a meatless meatball

NEW YORK (CNN) — Ikea is known for its furniture and Swedish meatballs.

But, its iconic meatball is getting a makeover. Ikea is working on meatless meatballs. 

Ikea said it’s running tests to create a meatball made from plant-based alternative proteins. They haven’t narrowed things down just yet, but the plan is to start selling the new product in a few test markets next February. 

The meatless meatball will become the fifth kind of meatball you can get at the stores, joining classic, veggie, chicken, and salmon and cod.
