Huge, how much?

ABC Business Daily

If you're on a GLP-1 drug, you're consuming a lot less.

ABC Business Daily

And so basically what that does is that strips fat

ABC Business Daily

But it also strips muscle.

ABC Business Daily

And so what you want to be doing is the food that you are consuming, you want to be highly nutritious and you want to be high in protein to enable you to maintain your muscle mass.

ABC Business Daily

Because whilst you want to lose weight, you don't actually necessarily want to lose muscle because it's terrific for your stability and your physical health.

ABC Business Daily

So we're seeing people on...

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

GLP-1 drugs wanting to consume a lot of yogurt and milk-based beverage with high protein content in it.

ABC Business Daily

And so when we bought the business, yogurt was sort of growing at 3% or 4% volume per year, which is nice.

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

That's good.

ABC Business Daily

We're the number one yogurt producer in Australia, and we had sort of a nice 3% or 4% growth.

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

Over the last couple of years, sort of with the emergence of GLP-1 and...

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

It's not solely GLP-1, but certainly a big part of it.

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

Our yogurts now growing sort of 10 or 11% volume year on year.

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

And so it's having a significant impact on our business.

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

I couldn't tell you that in Australia, Alan, certainly in the US where GLP-1 drugs are now sort of 10% plus of the community are on GLP-1 drugs.

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

The average family in the US with a GLP-1 drug user is consuming 6% less food.

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

And so if you think about that, the US, that equates to a 0.6% reduction in food consumption, which is significant if you think across that.

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

So I would imagine that those sorts of outcomes will start to play out in Australia.

ABC Business Daily
Pete Findlay on Bega’s cost crunch

I would have thought that we will follow the same GLP-1 user depth within our community, and I would have thought that our food consumption will drop.
