WE CAN HELP YOU ATTRACT MORE CUSTOMERS
Plant-based & Free-from consultancy
The rise in consumers seeking food with less meat and dairy shows no sign of slowing down, driven by the explosive rise in veganism and those adopting a flexitarian diet.
45% of UK consumers have a food allergy or intolerance, and want to have great, healthy food options available to them.
