Planet Madagascar Vanilla Plant-Based Ice Cream (Greece). 100% plant-based and planet-friendly Madagascar vanilla ice cream based on oat drink from Greek oat flakes. Comes in a carton board tub. Carbon negative from day one. Dairy-free, lactose-free, casein-free, egg-free and GMO-free. Sustainable forestry initiative-certified sourcing. 100% vegan.

Consumers are ready to pay more for free-from food and beverages, as products free from allergies – such as gluten and lactose – are considered as major attribute of “clean” eating.  “Palm oil-free” and vegan claims are fastest growing claims in recent product innovations. Such free-from claims are commonly found in product launches from bakery, snacks and dairy. Adding to that, health benefits like “fat-free”, “sugar-free” and “calorie-free” are also gaining importance.

Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious about the kinds of ingredients they are consuming. Although the goal to reduce sodium intake becomes more important to consumers, it cannot be achieved through reducing table salt alone. Therefore, the food industry continues to launch cooking solutions that reduce the sodium content. Sauces and Seasonings are one of the fastest growing food categories between 2017 and 2021 globally.

In the plant-based market, texture innovation is key to replicate the eating experience of the meat or dairy equivalent. Creamy is the top texture claim in plant-based food and beverages (Global, 2021), however crispy and crunchy texture claims are rising.

Nutrition and sustainability play a bigger role as brands refine the next generation of plant-based foods. Within the snack category, new product launches tracked with plant-based claims are growing with an average annual growth of +57% (Global, CAGR 2017-2021). Since health remains the top reason for consumers to consider plant-based alternatives, these plant-based snacking products often also feature health claims related to the protein and fiber content.
