The increasing trend towards plant-based products and their composition

The growing demand for plant-based products for vegan or vegetarian consumers is also a major challenge for food manufacturers. Many manufacturers have expanded their product line to include new plant-based products that replicate burgers and other meat dishes with plant-based ingredients, deceptively imitating the taste and texture of meat. Products range from plant-based burgers to meat substitutes and vegan dairy alternatives.

The variety of vegetarian options in the food sector is increasing significantly. Food manufacturers know that these products must also meet strict quality and safety standards.

Did you know that these plant-based products may also contain allergens or animal DNA? We would like to make our customers aware that vegan and plant-based foods are not always allergen-free. Again, it makes sense to look at the ingredient list. Animal DNA may also be present in the form of milk or eggs.
