A wave of coffee chains, including Starbucks, Dunkin’, and Peet’s Coffee, are dropping extra charges for dairy-free milk, marking a shift in the industry.
The last few months have seen a shift in the coffee industry as major chains like Starbucks and Dunkin’ have stopped charging extra for dairy-free milk alternatives.
Peet’s Coffee will join the ranks on June 4 after a successful campaign by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), bolstered by the advocacy of musician Paul McCartney.
The company announced that starting June 4, all its 200+ US locations will offer non-dairy milk at no additional cost, with an exclusive early preview for Peetnik Rewards members starting April 1.
In addition to Peet’s move, McDonald’s Canada is testing the McVeggie Burger in sel ect locations until April 14.
The burger, featuring a vegetable-based patty, is distinctively Canadian and different fr om Europe’s McPlant.
Elsewhere in the food industry, So Delicious has become Lollapalooza's official dairy-free partner, and candy brand Unreal is launching low-sugar vegan Easter-themed boxes.
The vegan movement is also making strides in cheese and butter, with Lidl initiating a plant-based cheese innovation competition and US Foods launching Glenview Farms Unsalted Non-Dairy Butter.
The plant-based revolution continues with new offerings like Juicy Marbles' whole-cut plant-based pork, and Benexia introducing the first-ever chia seed milk.
Better Nature has launched an improved tempeh product, with a protein content equivalent to six eggs, now available in UK supermarkets.
