The Power Of Protein

In the U.S., the marketing opportunity for high protein-containing products is large and growing. It is a notable trend with broad-reaching appeal.

Nearly six out of 10 Americans consider the protein content when buying packaged food or beverages, according to a 2012 survey from the International Food Information Council. More and more, consumers understand its power:

    88% recognize protein helps build muscle,
    60% agree it creates a feeling of fullness, and
    60% indicate a diet high in protein may support weight loss.

So, where is this trend heading and where does dairy fit in?
