Protein-Packed and On Trend
Protein continues to play a major role in consumer decision-making. Nearly half of consumers are actively trying to include more protein in their meals.2
At the same time, most consumers view animal proteins as both more natural (65%) and more satisfying (72%) than plant-based alternatives, reinforcing the ongoing demand for high-quality meat options.3
