Pea Protein Industry in Europe Gains Momentum with Health and Sustainability Trends

Europe Pea Protein Market Overview

The Europe Pea Protein Market is projected to expand significantly over the next five years, fueled by increasing consumer interest in plant-based diets and sustainable food sources. The market, which is valued at USD 204.5 million in 2024, is expected to reach USD 317.60 million by 2029, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.20% during the forecast period.

Pea protein, extracted from yellow peas, has gained popularity as a plant-based alternative to animal proteins. It is known for its nutritional benefits, being rich in amino acids, iron, and easily digestible protein. As consumers increasingly focus on health, wellness, and ethical consumption, the demand for pea protein is rising across Europe, particularly within the food, beverage, and nutraceutical sectors.

Key Trends in the Europe Pea Protein Market

Shift Toward Plant-Based Diets European consumers are progressively embracing plant-based lifestyles, whether for health reasons, environmental concerns, or animal welfare. The demand for protein alternatives has surged as more people turn to flexitarian, vegetarian, and vegan diets. Pea protein, with its functional and nutritional properties, fits perfectly into this growing trend.

Rising Demand for Clean Label Products Consumers are increasingly seeking clean-label food products—those that are natural, minimally processed, and free from artificial ingredients. Pea protein is seen as a clean, sustainable alternative to soy and whey proteins, appealing to health-conscious shoppers who prioritize transparency in their food choices.

Growth in Sports Nutrition The sports nutrition industry has shown a strong inclination toward plant-based protein sources, with pea protein emerging as a key ingredient in protein powders, bars, and supplements. Its digestibility and muscle recovery benefits make it a preferred choice for athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking for dairy-free options.

Sustainability Driving Innovation With growing awareness of environmental sustainability, the European food industry is exploring eco-friendly protein sources. Pea protein has a lower environmental impact compared to animal-based proteins, making it a sustainable alternative that aligns with Europe’s broader goals of reducing carbon footprints in the food sector.

Increased Investment in R&D Innovation in pea protein formulations is accelerating, with companies investing in research and development to improve texture, taste, and functionality. Advances in processing technologies are making pea protein more versatile and palatable, helping to expand its applications in a variety of food products, from plant-based meats to dairy alternatives.

Challenges in the Europe Pea Protein Market

Despite its strong growth potential, the Europe pea protein market faces several challenges. One significant hurdle is the higher production cost of pea protein compared to conventional animal proteins and other plant-based alternatives like soy. This can limit its affordability for consumers and reduce its competitive edge in price-sensitive markets.

Moreover, sensory issues such as taste and texture can be a barrier to consumer acceptance. Pea protein tends to have a somewhat earthy flavor, which can be difficult to mask in food products. However, ongoing advancements in food science are improving the sensory profile of pea protein, making it more appealing to a wider audience.

Lastly, the market is competitive, with other plant-based proteins such as soy, rice, and hemp vying for market share. To stay competitive, pea protein manufacturers need to focus on product differentiation and communicate its unique benefits effectively.

Conclusion

The Europe pea protein market is poised for significant growth, driven by rising demand for plant-based diets, sustainability, and clean-label products. While challenges such as higher production costs and sensory issues persist, ongoing innovations are improving the appeal of pea protein. With growing applications in food, beverages, and sports nutrition, pea protein is set to become a key player in Europe’s evolving plant-based protein market

How to follow a Mediterranean Greek diet

The Mediterranean diet naturally expands throughout the coastal countries of South Europe, North Africa and the Middle East but there are some small differences between their cuisines. So here I am writing specifically about the Greek version of the Mediterranean diet, known for its delicious, natural flavours and its significant health benefits.

Eat daily:

Olive oil: the pillar, the liquid green gold of the Mediterranean Greek diet. Olive oil should be used ideally exclusively for all purposes. It's dressing salads, it's used in cooking and in fact it's traditionally what is used in frying too. Replace all types of oils, butter and margarine with olive oil even when making pastries. The only problem here is that outside of the Mediterranean basin olive oil can be pricey, however that's the foundation the diet is based on. If you are interested in following the traditional Greek diet for taste or health purposes, it is good to really incorporate olive oil in your daily cooking. If it’s not possible to afford buying olive oil all the time (although you could balance it out by not buying other oils and butter), a non-Greek-typical but equivalent alternative could be avocado oil. However, I doubt avocado oil or any other oil can remotely compare to olive oil in health properties, taste or in any other positive quality 🫒

Vinegar: Just like olive oil, vinegar is a very important ingredient and is also used in natural remedies However, it can hurt a sensitive GI tract if consumed in large portions. A little bit of it added to meals frequently is very healthy. Apple cider vinegar is also very loved and used in salads often 🍇

Vegetables: no portion can be too much (wild greens, garlic, onions, cauliflowers, cucumbers, eggplants, beets, peppers, spinach, artichokes, zucchini, peas, lettuce, the list never ends). Tomatoes and broccoli are recent additions to the Greek diet however they were integrated perfectly to the Greek cuisine. In general, all vegetables can be enjoyed freely with some moderation in the potatoes, especially when fried 🥗

Fruits: grapes, berries, apples, melons, cherries, figs, prunes, sour cherries, peaches, pomegranates are the most historically loved fruits in the Greek diet. Since the middle ages citruses like the orange, the lemon and the mandarin are more and more loved. Greeks nowadays use lemon almost more than vinegar and both have become integral components of the Greek diet. Obviously, tropical fruits like, say, banana, mango, grapefruit are not present in the traditional Greek diet, however all fruits are good fruits and you can enjoy them freely 🍎

Legumes. Eat freely to the tolerance of your body. Legumes can be too heavy for some GI tracts. Legumes are a great source of protein and fibre. Choose brown lentils, white beans, fava beans, chickpeas, giant beans and black eyed peas the most 🫘

Nuts, seeds: almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, peanuts etc. Eat as much as your body can take, because everybody is different 🥜

Mushrooms: mushroom it up! A great healthy way to have them is grilled with herbs and plain or apple cider vinegar dressing 🍄‍🟫

Whole grains: this is the traditional way to eat grains. Brown bread, oats, whole wheat pasta 🌾

Fish and seafood: find and eat them fresh. Instead of buying them deep frozen from the big markets, find local fish stores if your place is coastal and has them. Eat both large but especially small and medium sized fish. Some fish like salmon and tuna should ideally not be consumed daily due to their high levels of mercury and fats 🐟🎣🍤

Herbs and spices. Feel free to use as much as you want however if you are interested also in the flavours of the Greek diet besides the health benefits, a tip is that Greek dishes do not contain extremely hot spices 🌿

Water: A lot of water daily and, mind you, plain clear mineral water. No flavoured water, definitely not sparkling water and ideally no other liquids in place of the water. I mean, sure you can have liquids but you should ALSO have plain water 💧

Eat a few times per week:

Poultry: Poultry and lean meats entered the Greek cuisine mostly after the Middle Ages however they are nowadays enjoyed as part of the Greek Mediterranean diet because they are tasty and healthier than other types of meat. Chicken has become especially popular in the Greek cuisine. Other birds are the pheasant, the quail, the turkey and more sparsely the duck 🍗

Eggs: eggs are healthy and should be consumed a few times per week but not daily because they can cause a rise in cholesterol levels 🥚

Dairy: Greeks LOVE dairy products, especially the various types of cheese, however they are often irritating to the GI tract and they are linked with rises in the level of inflammation in the body. This is why you should ideally limit them to a few times per week. One exception is the yoghurt, which is fermented and can be perhaps consumed more frequently due to its beneficial properties. Important note: if you want to follow the Greek diet, you should ideally opt for milk and other dairy products from goats and sheep! Cow milk is not traditionally used in the Greek cuisine often and sheep and goat milk are significantly healthier and more nutritious. The only drawback is the stronger smell, however if you can get past that, it is strongly advised to switch to those instead of cow milk. Another note: what is known as “Greek yoghurt” in western countries is not in fact a true Greek yoghurt. What you call Greek yoghurt is to us simply a strained yoghurt, a yoghurt from which the whey has been removed. Sometimes in western markets (and in Greek “modern” dessert yoghurt products) butterfat and powdermilk is added to them and they are mostly made of cow’s milk. Again, a traditional Greek yoghurt is made of sheep, goat milk or a mix of both and is unstrained. It also has a trademark thickened skin on its top (dunno if this is the actual term lol) which is in fact the part of the yoghurt that contains the most nutrients and personally it’s the tastiest part of the yoghurt but apparently it is not for everyone. As an example, a study showed that an unstrained sheep yoghurt has more protein, more omega-3 fatty acids and minerals yet fewer calories and fats than a strained cow yoghurt 🍦🧀

Wine: in small portions, like a small glass up to a few times per week and always in combination with your meal. You don’t drink it to get hammered, you drink it for the health benefits it has in very moderate quantities and for the reasonable mild euphoria it causes before it becomes harmful. The GI tract is linked to the brain and is detrimentally influenced by negative emotions. This is why it is important to try to be in a good mood, relaxed and peaceful when you sit down to eat. A sip of wine now and then can be good for that 🍷

Eat once per week or ideally less:

Red meat like pork or beef. In fact, beef should be the one most avoided not only because it is indeed the rarest of the common meats used in traditional Greek cuisine but also because you can’t separate the fat from the meat as easily as with pork. To follow the Greek style in a healthy way opt for goat, then lamb or pork and make beef your most occasional meat dish 🥩

Processed meats should be eaten rarely. If you are in a mood for it though, opt for Greek style sausages with herbs in or bacon at most. Cured meats like ham are better to be avoided but turkey is the healthiest of them. They are not a part of a traditional Greek cuisine though.

Refined grains can be enjoyed weekly but should not replace whole grains

Pastries. What’s new, pastries are not ideal for health. However, if you are yearning for something sweet, if you want to keep it healthy as much as possible in the “Greek way”, opt for desserts made of healthy ingredients like honey, nuts, olive oil and fruits. Chocolate came to Greece in the 19th century, however it has become an integral part of confectionery since then. Opt ideally for dark chocolate, combined with nuts or fruits such as oranges and prunes. Greeks especially love chocolate combined with nuts.

Soft and sugary drinks. Avoid them overall, especially the processed products in the markets. If you need a sweet drink really bad, you can keep it traditional by making your own sweet lemonade, sour cherry, pomegranate etc drink at home. You could also enjoy small quantities of lemon or mastic liquors which are good for digestion.

BONUS TIPS & PHILOSOPHY:

Try to find mastic if it’s available where you live. The mastic is a resin produced from the mastic tree, a species endemic to the Greek island of Chios and a small part of the opposite coast of Turkey. It has numerous beneficial properties, especially for digestion and gut health, and it combines them with a very pleasant fresh and sweet flavour. You can find it in gums that boost digestion, in drinks, in pastries and even in non-edible products like toothpastes. Learn about it and give it a try, no matter if you are interested in following Greek diet or not.

Greek cuisine does not go berserk on as many ingredients as possible (however Greeks typically add more ingredients than, say, Italians and perhaps fewer than the Middle Easterners). Don’t worry about adding as many foods and nutrients in one single dish. The most important thing in Greek cuisine philosophy is to pick the finest ingredients. Avoid deep frozen or precooked and processed ingredients. Pick whole fruits and vegetables from your local small grocery store. For example, don’t buy a watermelon slice in a zelatin bag from the supermarket. Take the whole freaking watermelon home. You heard me right. It’s heavy, yes, but you would be surprised how much tastier and healthier it is this way. Go to the butcher for meat. Go to the specific cheese shop for cheese. Go to the fisherman for fish and seafood. Go to the pastry shop and get a nice dessert instead of buying candies from the market.

Remember that in moderation you can eat most of the foods you desire, especially if they are not processed foods. There is nothing about the Greek diet that is restrictive in terms of its philosophy - historically the intake of various foods was regulated only based on availability and price. There are no foods you should limit due to any perception of them being “bad” and you should never feel guilty the moment you are actually having the food. Just work slowly and progressively by building gradual appreciation for healthy foods and prize less nutritious foods as occasional taste bud rewards.

As said above, a good mood is crucial when you sit down to eat. In the history of the Greek society this translated into eating with friends and / or family, maybe with the occasional sip of wine, ideally in a pleasant environment and always taking your time with your food. If some of these are less feasible than others, try alternatively to improve the setting in which you eat, to eat in an environment that calms you down. Schedule your meal so that you won’t eat in anxiety or hurry, if this is possible. Think of pleasant memories and feel grateful for your food. Cheers! Or, you know, εις υγείαν!

Hunger Has Natural Causes, Right?

Despite the fact that the world produces 1.5 times as much food as is needed to feed the human population, starvation and famine are endemic to modern capitalism. 900 million people die from starvation each year, but there is no global shortage of land to grow food. The UN estimates that there is enough land to feed a world population of 14 billion people. But what is it being used for? As in the ‘developed’ North, large landowners control the vast majority of land. In 83 countries, 3% of farmers control 79% of farmland, much of it left unused in order to maintain profits. Big Food made over $7bn profit from the South in 1990, and probably far more through transfer payments. It uses its economic power to force down the prices of rice, coffee, sugar, cocoa and cotton. Average prices in 1989 were 20% down on those of 1980. This led to an increase in foreign debt for Southern countries, with consequent increased economic hardship for the poor majority (higher taxes, inflation, etc.). Brazil has an area of farmland the size of India left uncultivated while 20 million rural poor are landless; the richest 1% owns 15 times as much land as the poorest 56% of Brazilian farmers. In Guatemala, 2% of landowners own 66% of the land. In the Philippines agribusiness producing sugar, cotton and pineapples for export has pushed 12 million peasants into the lowland forests.

Drought in Africa is part of a millennia-long cycle that human societies adapted to. It is cash crop exploitation, the market economy and taxation that produce starvation, not drought. During the 1970s, when famines first began to be reported regularly, ships that brought relief supplies to the port of Dakar left carrying peanuts, cotton, vegetables, and meat. In Bangladesh, often cited as the model for the Malthusian argument, 90% of the land is worked by sharecroppers and labourers. Many starved after the 1974 floods, while hoarders held on to four million tons of rice. In the mid-80’s severe famines occurred in the Sahel countries of Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Chad yet during the same period record harvests of cotton were exported to the industrial centres of the world.

Cash crops go to feed the global supermarket, yielding higher profits for international capital and accelerating global industrialisation. Mexican soil and labour supplies almost 70% of the US market for much winter and early spring vegetables. The result is that agriculture for local consumption is squeezed out and the prices of staple foods rise. Up to 50% of total meat production in Central America is exported, mainly to North America. The “Green Revolution” of the 1970s and 1980s, that the ruling class said would feed the hungry, has in fact only supplied the global supermarket. The same will certainly be true of the ‘wonder crops’ of the GM revolution. The corporate claims that GM and industrial food production in general will ‘feed the world’ are straightforward lies. The maize/soya/ animal product system they are pushing so heavily is not a rational way to produce food — an acre of cereal is estimated to produce 5 times as much protein as one devoted to meat production, an acre of legumes (beans, peas, lentils) 10 times as much and an acre of leafy vegetables 15 times as much.

Pea Protein: The Backbone of the Plant-Based Movement

The global pea protein market size is expected to reach USD 4.71 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 12.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for pea protein is anticipated to be driven by several factors such as functional benefits, its suitability for individuals with food allergies and dietary restrictions, and growing preference for plant-based diets due to health and environmental concerns.

Pea protein is naturally free from common allergens such as dairy, soy, and gluten. This factor has contributed to its popularity among people with food allergies, sensitivities, or dietary restrictions. Additionally, pea protein is often non-genetically modified, which appeals to consumers seeking natural and clean-label products.

The increasing prevalence of health issues such as obesity and diabetes, particularly among younger generations, has resulted in a growing preference for vegan diets. Furthermore, animal rearing negatively impacts natural resources and contributes to global warming to some extent. Although this impact has not been precisely measured, it is widely acknowledged, and awareness of this factor has encouraged the adoption of a more plant-based diet, thus boosting the meat substitutes market. As a result, pea protein as a meat substitute is expected to become more prevalent during the forecast period due to its excellent texturing properties, which make it suitable for use in the production of meat products such as chicken, beef, lamb, and mutton.

Pea proteins offer several functional benefits for bakery applications, including water holding capability, gelation, and increased browning, particularly in gluten-free applications. Besides, using pea proteins in bakery goods also replaces potential allergens such as gluten or soy.

In the world of quick and easy cooking, ready-to-make mixes have carved a niche for themselves, catering to the ever-busy modern lifestyle. One such product that has consistently captured the hearts of Indian households is the MTR Khatta Dhokla Mix. This mix promises the authentic taste of traditional Gujarati dhoklas with the convenience of a pre-packaged solution. But does it live up to its claims? Let’s dive into an in-depth review to find out.

Packaging and First Impressions

The first thing that stands out about the MTR Khatta Dhokla Mix is its vibrant red packaging, a signature of MTR Foods. The packaging is designed to catch your eye on a supermarket shelf, with an appetizing image of soft and fluffy dhoklas right on the front. The pack provides detailed instructions, making it easy even for first-time users to whip up a delicious batch of dhoklas. Additionally, the package is sturdy and resealable, ensuring the mix stays fresh for future use.

Ingredients and Nutritional Value

One of the key highlights of MTR products is their commitment to quality. The MTR Khatta Dhokla Mix contains a blend of rice flour, black gram flour, edible vegetable oil, salt, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate. The absence of artificial preservatives is a big plus, making it a healthier option compared to many other ready mixes in the market.

Nutritionally, dhoklas made from this mix are a great low-calorie snack option. High in protein and relatively low in fat, they make for a balanced dish that aligns well with a health-conscious lifestyle. A 100g serving of the mix contains around 366 calories, which is reasonable given the portion size and the accompanying ingredients.

Preparation Process

Preparing dhoklas using the MTR Khatta Dhokla Mix is a straightforward process, even for those new to cooking. Here’s a step-by-step guide based on the instructions provided:

Mixing: Combine the contents of the pack with water and whisk thoroughly to create a smooth batter. Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes to ensure proper activation of the ingredients.

Steaming: Pour the batter into a greased tray and steam it in a dhokla steamer or a pressure cooker without the whistle for 12-15 minutes.

Tempering: Once the dhokla is cooked and cooled, prepare a tempering using mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chilies, and sesame seeds. Pour the tempering over the dhokla for that authentic Gujarati flavor.

Serving: Cut the dhoklas into square pieces and garnish with freshly chopped coriander and grated coconut.

The entire process takes around 20-25 minutes, making it an ideal choice for a quick snack or a light meal.

Taste and Texture

The real test of any ready mix lies in its taste and texture, and the MTR Khatta Dhokla Mix does not disappoint. The dhoklas turn out soft, fluffy, and spongy, with a perfect balance of tanginess that’s characteristic of traditional khatta dhoklas. The slight sourness, derived from the citric acid in the mix, pairs beautifully with the tempering’s spiciness and aroma.

Unlike some other ready mixes that can leave a bitter aftertaste due to overuse of leavening agents, this mix maintains a clean and authentic flavor profile. The texture is light and airy, making it an excellent accompaniment to chutneys or as a standalone snack.

Versatility

While the MTR Khatta Dhokla Mix is designed to make traditional dhoklas, its versatility allows for creative experimentation. Here are a few ways to elevate your dhokla game:

Masala Dhokla: Add chopped vegetables like carrots, peas, and bell peppers to the batter for a nutritious twist.

Sandwich Dhokla: Layer the dhokla with mint chutney or a spicy garlic chutney to create a flavorful sandwich-style snack.

Fried Dhokla: Leftover dhoklas can be diced and stir-fried with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and a dash of asafoetida for a crispy delight.

Value for Money

Priced competitively, the MTR Khatta Dhokla Mix offers excellent value for money. One pack is sufficient to serve a family of four, making it a budget-friendly option for those looking to enjoy a traditional dish without the hassle of preparing it from scratch.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Quick and easy to prepare

Authentic taste and texture

High-quality ingredients

No artificial preservatives

Affordable and easily available

Cons:

Requires a steamer or pressure cooker for best results

Slightly sour flavor may not appeal to everyone’s palate

Final Verdict

The MTR Khatta Dhokla Mix is a delightful addition to any kitchen pantry, especially for those who enjoy traditional Indian snacks but lack the time for elaborate preparations. Its ease of use, authentic taste, and versatility make it a go-to option for busy households, as well as for beginners looking to try their hand at Indian cooking.

Whether you’re hosting a tea party, preparing a light dinner, or simply craving a quick snack, this ready mix ensures you can enjoy fluffy, flavorful dhoklas in no time. With MTR’s trusted brand reputation backing it, the MTR Khatta Dhokla Mix is a must-try for every food enthusiast.

Plant-based Flavour Market Trends Drive Innovation, Sustainability, and Competitive Pricing in Growing Industries

The plant-based flavour market has seen tremendous growth over recent years, as more consumers shift toward plant-based diets. With an increasing emphasis on sustainability, health-conscious eating, and ethical sourcing, plant-based alternatives have made significant inroads in the food and beverage sector. This shift is not only driven by changing consumer preferences but also by innovations in flavour technologies and production processes. As the market continues to grow, pricing trends will play a key role in shaping the landscape of plant-based products.

Drivers of Plant-Based Flavour Demand

The rise in demand for plant-based flavours is deeply connected to the global move towards more sustainable, healthier lifestyles. Traditional flavouring systems derived from animal sources or artificial ingredients are facing intense competition from plant-based counterparts. For instance, plant-based proteins like soy, pea, and hemp are increasingly replacing animal proteins in products like burgers, sausages, and dairy-free milk alternatives. This shift requires brands to incorporate new, innovative flavours that replicate traditional animal-based products, further propelling the growth of the plant-based flavour sector.

Additionally, consumer demand for clean-label products, devoid of artificial additives and preservatives, is influencing flavour formulation trends. The pursuit of organic, non-GMO, and natural ingredients has also amplified the desire for plant-based alternatives, further motivating flavour producers to develop products from plant-based sources.

Key Pricing Influences in the Plant-Based Flavour Market

Raw Material Sourcing The cost of sourcing plant-based raw materials is a significant factor in flavour pricing. Many plant-based ingredients, such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, require specialized sourcing, transportation, and processing methods to maintain quality. Due to seasonality and climate conditions, the supply of certain plant-based ingredients can be erratic, affecting their prices. For instance, the price of natural vanilla or exotic fruits used in flavouring can fluctuate due to factors like weather conditions, demand, and labor shortages.

Technological Advancements The development of new extraction and processing techniques is significantly improving the quality of plant-based flavours. However, the costs associated with these technologies may lead to higher production prices. For instance, the increased adoption of plant fermentation technology for flavour extraction often requires specialized infrastructure, which might add to overall production costs. Despite this, technological innovation in plant-based flavour extraction can ultimately bring long-term cost benefits by improving yield, increasing product consistency, and reducing waste.

Economies of Scale As plant-based products gain popularity and manufacturers scale up production, economies of scale play a critical role in pricing dynamics. Larger volumes of plant-based flavours and ingredients can lead to reductions in cost per unit, ultimately driving prices lower. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may face higher production costs due to limited access to large-scale manufacturing facilities. As the market matures, we may see further price reductions with increased production capacity and advancements in supply chain logistics.

Regulatory Factors A critical component influencing pricing in the plant-based flavour market is the regulatory environment. Stringent regulations governing plant-based labelling, product authenticity, and food safety standards in different countries can have an impact on production and certification costs. For instance, ensuring that ingredients are certified organic or non-GMO often requires additional audits and paperwork, which adds to the overall cost of manufacturing plant-based flavours.

Competition and Market Saturation The plant-based flavour market is quickly becoming crowded, with multiple brands launching new plant-based products targeting different consumer preferences. This heightened competition often results in price wars and attempts to reduce manufacturing costs, putting pressure on flavour companies to innovate while balancing the cost of raw materials. Despite the competition, companies that can maintain high-quality standards while effectively managing their supply chain and production methods are likely to achieve success in a dynamic market.

Future Outlook

With plant-based diets expected to continue growing, the demand for plant-based flavours will also increase. As the market matures, we anticipate more competitive pricing driven by advancements in flavour production and technology. New consumer bases, especially in emerging markets, will continue to unlock fresh growth potential, pushing companies to refine their strategies.

With ongoing concerns about sustainability, ethical sourcing, and a growing preference for clean-label products, it’s clear that the plant-based flavour market will be a key player in shaping the future of the food and beverage industry. From 2025 onward, these trends will become even more pronounced, with improved processes and cost reductions eventually benefiting both brands and consumers alike.
