GLP-1 & the Food and Drink Industry
What do GLP-1s mean for the future of food and drink?
GLP-1 weight-loss medications are changing more than waistlines.
As their use grows, so do the questions for food and drink businesses. What happens when consumers eat less? Which categories are most exposed? How might expectations around portion size, protein, nutrition and functionality change? And where could entirely new opportunities emerge?
