Now, the food and beverage giant is investing $22 million in wellness initiatives it plans to carry out by 2030, including the reformulation of more than 70 percent of its plant-based beverages to increase their nutrient density.ĭanone announced this initiative at the recent White House conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, which aims to catalyze a concerted effort to eradicate hunger and food insecurity in America. Last year, the company also acquired Earth Island, the parent company behind Follow Your Heart, a pioneering vegan brand that makes Vegenaise, egg alternative VeganEgg, and a variety of dairy-free cheeses, dressings, and more.ĭanone has been working to improve its dairy alternatives for some time and is already working with biotech company Brightseed to improve nutritional content of its plant-based products. International company Danone is looking to change that with its portfolio of products, which in North America include plant-based brands Silk, So Delicious, and Vega. While these alternatives serve consumers looking for cruelty-free options, and those looking to make more environmentally sound choices, some are not developed with nutrition in mind.
