Business of Alt Protein: Consumer taste preferences in dairy-free products

Dairy-free has gone mainstream—but does it taste mainstream? Join GFI for our next Business of Alt Protein webinar as we unveil insights from NECTAR's new Taste of the Industry 2026 report which benchmarks consumer taste preferences across the full dairy-free spectrum. Based on blind sensory analyses of 98 dairy-free products across 10 categories with more than 2100+ consumers, NECTAR’s report explores which dairy-free categories are winning with everyday eaters, where the biggest gaps remain, and what the sensory data tells us about the road ahead. Attendees will learn how to apply NECTAR's public sensory dataset to their own work, with practical takeaways for formulators, brands, and investors alike. The presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A.
