Moreover, the brand is looking to ‘disrupt the market’ and ‘offer something different to what’s already on the shelves’.
In Europe, the brand said it was already witnessing a ‘quiet revolution’ in the plant-based dairy sector.
The plant-based milk industry is expanding and that includes one of the industry’s leaders, Oatly.
The Swedish oat milk brand announced plans to open a new factory in the UK and it will be one of the largest plant-based factories worldwide.
Additionally, another renowned brand renown designer and businesswoman Linda McCartney will be launching plant-milks in the UK this summer.
