CP Kelco: Ingredients for success
Plant-based foods and beverages aren’t just for
vegetarians anymore. According to Innova Market
Insights, conservative estimates are that
more than 4,000 products with a plant-based claim
have launched since 2017. One in four consumers
globally is “actively trying to increase consumption of
plant-based protein,” according to Global Data’s 2020
dairy trend report. Six out of ten consumers also told
Innova Market Insights in a 2020 survey that they preferred
the words “plant-based” instead of “vegan” or
“vegetarian” on a product label. They see how plantbased
products can benefit those with lactose intolerance
and dairy allergies as well as appeal to flexitarians
and food explorers.
