02 Jan 2020 --- The plant-based food market is booming and disrupting global meat and dairy sectors. As a result, US meat producers such as Maple Leaf Foods, Tyson Foods and packaged food company Conagra Brands are shifting their focus and creating plant-based meat alternatives to satisfy current consumer needs. Global fast-food giant McDonald’s has also changed gears after seeing an 80 percent increase in vegetarian orders over the past year. The year 2020 is expected to be no different, with plant-based innovation being in the spotlight, specifically plant-based milk and dairy alternatives.
