Despite the increase in #vegans and #vegetarians, and the proliferation of #plantbased meat brands, not all consumers are on board. Traditional meat, or 'real' meat, has gone nowhere. Recent data from NielsenIQ suggests that UK consumers are returning to fresh meat, with sales of both meat and poultry increasing in 2024.

In Europe, particularly in France and Italy, people are still reducing meat, driven to do so by both cost and environmental reasons, suggests Mintel's Mikolaj Kaczorowski. https://lnkd.in/gV8B5pxg
