Future Food Quick Bites: Coffee Creamers, Vegan Mayo & Cultivated Meat Legislation

Alt-dairy giant Violife and Organic Valley have both introduced new dairy-free coffee creamers, using lentils and oats as their base respectively. Vegan mayo brand Hellmann’s has launched a social media campaign to showcase the taste similarity between its plant-based mayo and the original version. Additionally, Oato has launched freshly made oat milks at Sainsbury’s, while Stockled Dreamery has partnered with plant-based fast-food chain PLNT Burger.

In the world of sustainable food innovation, companies like Yali Bio, Beyond Meat, GoodMills Innovation, and MYOM have been introducing new plant-based protein products and expanding their distribution. The UK has seen developments in alternative protein research and policy, with various organizations collaborating to address challenges like cost reduction and scalability. Meanwhile, in the US, there is ongoing legislation aimed at regulating the labelling of cultivated meat products to prevent any misleading information. Orbillion Bio, a US-based cultivated meat startup, recently won an event at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
