Lactose free ' is trend: coconut-based drinks gain market share

Made exclusively from organic coconuts and with the guarantee of being free of lactose, the creamy coconut-based drinks ' SoDelicious! ', produced by u.s.-based Dairy Free SoDelicious, are aimed at consumers who, for health reasons or principle, want to avoid dairy products or seeking new ways to vary their diet. In addition to the Cococcino versions Mocha (chocolate coconut) and Latte Cococcino (coconut milk), for the winter in the region were launched the Pumpkin Spice flavors (spicy pumpkin), Nog (egg liqueur with nutmeg) and Mint Chocolate (chocolate with Mint), all in combifitMidi aseptic carton packs from SIG Combibloc.
In the last five years, recorded a record growth of SoDelicious more than 30%. To Mike Murray, this proves that the lactose-free products have one of the best prospects in the food industry. Compared to soy-based products, the greatest potential is in the almond milk and coconut. The reason lies in the increase in the number of consumers who adopt these products for lactose intolerance or because they value the sustainable consumption and seek a healthier diet. Murray adds: "many people prefer the taste of almond milk or coconut and also like the texture of these products. In addition, more and more people have one foot out the door in relation to soy-based products due to genetic modification. Also guarantee to consumers that our products are made exclusively with GM-free ingredients.
