Create future proof recipes with faba bean protein

Are you looking to prepare for a more conscious future? Let’s do it with people’s health as well as animal and planet welfare in mind.

Consumer awareness is growing, and people are becoming more conscious of the impact their choices have on the planet. In addition, the changing situations for farmers, including EU policies on nitrogen, are making it hard for dairy and egg/chicken farmers to keep up. To stay in the running, farmers are steering away from battery caged chickens as much as possible, potentially making eggs less readily available in the long run. The combination of more demanding consumer needs and governmental policy pressures could ultimately have a severe impact on milk and egg production. As such having an impact on the supply of these raw materials, making their prices more unstable for the food industry and their product developers.

Future-proof your business and make a difference with informed choices. By reducing or replacing eggs and/or milk in your application formulation, you can contribute to a more sustainable future as well as secure more cost-effective end products. A triple win: for your business, the consumer and the planet!

Consumers looking for plant-based solutions

On a global scale, people are turning ever more frequently towards vegetarian or vegan alternatives, like dairy-free, meat-free and egg-free. As consumers take increasingly more care of their health, they find plant-based eating supports them in this goal. Where in the past, for example, lactose intolerance was a rare challenge for people to face, these days the percentage of people with reduced abilities to digest lactose has grown exponentially and will continue to do so.

Besides their own health, also caring for the planet and its animals is an important motivator for people to reduce their animal protein (dairy, eggs, meat) consumption. Animal welfare and consumer concern on how they are treated while serving as our food providers is globally gaining importance at a rapid pace.

The solution for stricter rules on egg production

Faba bean protein can replace or reduce eggs

The ongoing discussions on stricter legislations in Europe for egg production demands a fresh approach in food development. While the use of conventional battery cages has been banned since 2012, a new era of heightened animal welfare and sustainability is right around the corner. Regulation for egg production might become more strict in 2027, which most likely will lead to higher ingredient prices. Almost 42% of consumers worldwide feel the impact of the inflation; as a result, they change their shopping behaviour. An opportunity for the food business here to offer stable consumer prices by tackling their product base cost. The unavoidable impact on egg costs therefore requires a re-evaluation of your ingredient list. Our solution is a plant-based one: Faba bean protein—an innovation crafted to not only meet the new standards but to surpass them. Future-proof your recipes by both complying with (future) legislation and by anticipating the expected rising tide of ingredient costs. BENEO’s faba bean ingredients allow for full or partial egg-replacement and will do this in a more cost-efficient way.
