IFST Webinar: The Rise of Plant-based Foods – managing the risks of this emerging market

Sales of plant-based products have been growing immensely in recent years, driven by consumer needs and expectations on a number of agendas including animal welfare, health and environmental reasons. As more and more businesses look to capitalise on this growing trend, we are seeing a great diversity of products entering the market giving vegan and plant-based consumers a great choice. One group of consumers who are looking to take advantage of this increased choice are the “Free-From” consumers who exclude milk and egg from their diet due to allergy issues. This presents considerable additional risk.

During this webinar we explored some of the key areas of risk and some of the controls that can be implemented to effectively and safely manage vegan products. We also deep dived into hygiene and how effective cleaning can be used to provide appropriate segregation from non-vegan materials.
