THE RECORD

identity

IKEA describes a pea-protein base with oats, potato and apple, using savory vegetable flavors to approximate the meatball experience. [2] [1]

THE RECORD

history

IKEA announced a European rollout in July 2020, scheduled for August. Its November 2020 retrospective confirms that European introduction. Those statements establish the regional rollout, without identifying the first serving day at each Swedish warehouse. [3] [4]

THE RECORD

nutrition

A verified calorie total for the current Swedish plate was not found. The ball recipe excludes animal ingredients, but IKEA’s launch announcement warns that traditional restaurant accompaniments contain dairy. Ask the local restaurant about the complete meal; the frozen 500 g retail pack is not a plated-serving weight. [3] [5] [6]

No serving-specific nutrition verified.

THE RECORD

prices

The table separates eight- and twelve-ball meals from the children’s five-ball serving. The child option includes organic milk and a choice of fruit or an ice lolly for ages twelve and under. Local price and assortment variations apply. [1]

THE RECORD

distinctions

This is the meatball-style plant recipe, distinct from IKEA’s vegetable balls. A customer named Maria reports on the Swedish retail page that a restaurant meal prompted a take-home purchase. That is an undated individual reaction, not a verified national rating. [2] [6]

IKEA’s original climate-percentage claim is no longer treated as current: the company has added a note withdrawing numbers based on its old assessment. [3]
