Uh spicy flavors would be one way to sharpen the taste in the absence of these sort of classic ingredients, but it isn't a great option for the delicate constitutions of GLP one users.
Spicy foods and fatty foods tend to cause indigestion and discomfort with these folks.
Got it.
It's a real conundrum for food makers because GLP1 users represent a relatively small portion of the population, but are expected to rise rapidly.
So many food makers are like Canagra, for example, are looking to capture these GLP 1 users by wrapping up their needs and preferences with sort of a growing number of health-conscious consumers by doing those things like upping protein and fiber and all.
Offering smaller portions.
Companies like Kraft Heinz, for example, are looking to sort of capture the households that are becoming sort of GLP1 oriented because there's at least one member of the family who's on these medications.
yeah.
And PwC um sees about one in five American households having at least one GLP1 user in them.
And so it's already a solid portion of the population now.
On the sort of far end of the spectrum, Nestle is sort of a rare example of a company that's created product lines explicitly for GLP1 users.
They have a line of frozen foods called Vital Pursuits.
But for the most part, food makers are
are sort of looking to put these GLP one users and their needs in with the sort of general health conscious crowd because the demand generated by these folks just isn't enough yet.
In the upstream, excluding the Middle East, we delivered our highest production volumes in more than two decades.
These growers who are based mostly in Salinas Valley, California, they've seen cutbacks from restaurants, food distributors, and grocery stores.
And these lettuce producers, as one told me, Larry Cox, that across his company, Coastline Products, different produce items, sales were down 20 to 30%.
Cox said the only thing worse than losing 100% of your growing costs is losing a penny more.
So because they can't afford to pick and store lettuce, lettuce has a short shelf life and so you can't really hold on to it.
So instead, the best choice for them is to plow over their fields, which means that they chop up the harvest-ready lettuce and till it back into the ground.
