Recent moves such as Oatly’s plans for a $10bn IPO and Sproud’s £4.8m fund raise highlight the disruptive potential of the as yet small but fashionable alt dairy and plant milk sector.
But these products, on top of some dubious health and environmental claims, have a simple problem, says the founder and CEO of Imagindairy, Dr Eyal Afergan.
