Dairy & Egg Alternatives: Plant-Based & Animal-Free Products, 2nd Edition
Increasing concerns about health, animal welfare, and the environment are causing more consumers to turn to plant-forward diets. Some consumers are abstaining from animal products by going vegan or vegetarian, but many more are simply reducing consumption of animal products with a flexitarian or semi-vegetarian diet. Eating plant-based dairy or egg alternatives instead of conventional animal products is more environmentally friendly and better for animal welfare. Many consumers also think that plant-based products is healthier than animal products and may turn to these products for reasons of health.
Even more, food allergies and sensitivities are a key driver for adopting plant-based dairy and egg alternatives. Milk and eggs, two of the “Big 8” major food allergens, are avoided by millions of consumers who are allergic to these ingredients. Lactose intolerance affects even more consumers and is an important reason many people avoid dairy. Plant-based alternatives to dairy and egg products are a good option for consumers with dairy or egg allergies or intolerances, as these plant-based products do not contain the ingredients in question but do imitate their taste, texture, or function.
With a focus on “what’s next” and current consumer trends, Dairy & Egg Alternatives: Plant-Based & Animal-Free Products is packed with insights about consumer trends, behavior, and motivations to help foodservice operators, food producers, retailers, packaging companies, employers, and investors gauge consumer perspectives and find areas for growth in a competitive market.
