Into the future with plant-based products

The desire for alternatives to meat and dairy-free products is growing exponentially. However, many people still want to enjoy simple/standard pleasures - like a burger.

The burger is an excellent example that a diet without animal ingredients is not only possible but is delicious too. Whether it’s the ‘meat’ patty, cheese, mayonnaise or sauces, everything can be made free of animal products with Gold Peg’s innovative food processing solutions.

The numbers speak for themselves

According to the latest research from PLAY Market Research (PLAY MR), 37% of Australians are actively reducing their meat consumption, while 10% are dedicated vegans or vegetarians. Furthermore, a Google Trends analysis has Australia with the second-highest popularity globally for the vegan diet in 2020, behind the United Kingdom.

A global movement

As Dave Kelsey, vice president of US-based Holmen Cheese, says, plant-based foods are not a fad; they are a movement. “I think plant-based foods are going hand-in-hand with society. Consumers are looking for – and moving to – foods with sustainability and are being driven towards a healthier lifestyle.”

French cheese giant Groupe Bel – home to The Laughing Cow and Boursin brands – obviously agree, recently announcing that they will place plant alternatives at the centre of the company’s future. Hochland Group, one of the largest cheese manufacturers in Europe and the parent company of Gold Peg (and its pivotal partner Hochland Natec who form the Natec Network), have also taken the step to diversify into dairy-free products.

These major companies are leading the way in the world of cheese!
