Ocean Spray adopts sustainability initiative

There is great market potential in the plant-based dairy alternative category, with innovation in beverages, frozen desserts, and vegan slices, and more. To help companies and startups stand apart from the crowd, Kerry has released a Plant-based Dairy Alternative Toolkit. This virtual toolkit is designed to give innovators in the U.S. simple, scalable, and sustainable solutions to help with plant-based food and beverage product development and growth prospects. “Emerging and innovative plant-based brands and products need straightforward expert assistance, a road map to scalability, and a focus on sustainability—which Kerry’s 2021 proprietary research says is important to 75% of consumers in this category,” said Elizabeth Horvath, Vice President of Marketing at Kerry North America, in a press release.

A 2001 Bridgeport High School graduate continues to make her mark as it relates to world food sustainability. Amanda Green, the daughter of Hal Green and Ann Laretei Soderberg, recently had an article published in Anthropology News, which is under the American Anthropological Association.
