Lactose free potential
Around 70 percent of the world’s population suffers from lactose intolerance. The awareness of digestive wellness and lactose intolerance is increasing all over the world, and people are looking for ways to adjust their diet. This means that there is a rapidly growing demand for healthy and great tasting lactose free products.
Avoiding sugar
Sugar is increasingly overtaking fat and salt as a primary consumer concern, especially as high sugar consumption is blamed for rising obesity rates and linked to many health issues. Consumers are actively looking for reduced sugar options.
Protein boom
Protein hits the sweet spot of many global food trends, it has a clear link to health and wellness as well as naturality, and has a lot of potential in snacks and indulgence products.
