Sustainability was also a reason to create new options. “With the veggie ball we wanted to offer something as appreciated as the classic meatball, but plant-based and with less environmental impact,” explains David. Next came the salmon and cod ball. It contains pieces of salmon that are too small to be used as whole fillets. “And since it’s very tasty meat, we thought, why not make delicious fish balls of it instead?” says David.

Meat ballsJohnExcellent for a game day snack,especially when My Chiefs win.
Just okNancyThey were not bad, but I was a bit disappointed. I was looking for the Swedish meatballs that IKEA sells and thought this was them, don’t think so. Small and a bit dry. Don’t think I’d buy again.
Meat ball treatsRobertFound this to be very good.
Quick dinnerMaryAlways good for a quick dinner.
My toddler loves itMilaDelicious and tasty meatballs. Very easy to warm up. My toddler eats it. I will definitely buy more.
Simply MeatballsDanaThe goodness of this product is in the ingredients list. It is short and simple. IKEA meatballs do not contain unhealthy or unnecessary ingredients such as I have found in other brands. The natural flavors make IKEA my meatball of choice.
Very TastyJoanVery tasty with good, firm texture. I would like to see chicken meat replace the pork meat for the meatballs. It would be healthier and I think tastier.

Story
A buffet of good
Today’s recipe for the classic IKEA meatball rolled out from our test kitchen in 1985. Since then, the IKEA meatball has become an icon on plates around the world and a proud example of traditional Swedish cooking. But, when we asked customers on three different continents what food they prefer, we realized we had to extend our meatball family with tasty alternatives.
“Not everyone eats beef or pork, so we went into the kitchen to create new recipes,” says David Johansson, chef and product developer at IKEA Food Services. First came the chicken ball – an alternative for those who like meat, but not necessarily red meat. “Like all our meatballs it’s just as good hot as cold, and we’ve seasoned it gently so it fits different cuisines and local flavors.”
New flavors in a classic shape
Recreating the meatball without meat
The newest edition to the family is the plant ball. It’s made with pea protein, potatoes, apple, oats, and onion, but has the great taste and juicy bite of a meatball – making it perfect for everyone who wants to cut down on meat without losing out on the experience. “A lot has happened since 1985. Now, there are edible IKEA icons for more of the many people. No matter if you’re flexitarian, vegan, meat lover, have dietary needs, or cultural preferences.”
Form design process
With a taste of Sweden
If Sweden were a taste, it would taste like HUVUDROLL meatballs. Since we launched our meatballs in 1985, they are eaten and loved every year by millions of people everywhere. To enhance the meat flavor, they are gently seasoned. Either serve them classically with mashed potatoes, cream sauce and lingonberry jam, a dish with both harmony and flavor contrasts – or choose new, more unexpected combinations. Regardless of how they’re enjoyed, our meatballs are always a tasty icon!
