Dairy is a staple food, consumed in many forms and at different moments in the day – yet consumers are showing an interest in alternatives. Navigating this complex marketplace requires a true co-creation partner. That’s where Cargill’s Food Solutions comes in…
Keeping up with evolving consumer demands
80% of European consumers declare to consume dairy on a daily basis, with taste, naturalness & health listed as the top three reasons to maintain their dairy consumption.* However, there is a growing appeal for alternatives to dairy too, particularly among more sustainability minded consumers or requirements for household members’ diets. This is opening up opportunities to take a hybrid route or add full plant-based to your product offer. Whether you’re looking to achieve premium indulgence, cost optimization, more sustainable solutions, label-friendliness, reduced sugars, reduced fat, protein & fiber enrichment, Nutri-Score improvement, or considering going plant-based, you can always tap into our reliable, dedicated and future-focused support.
