Daiya, the brand that cracked the code on dairy-free cheese, announced the launch of their new Dairy-Free Cheese Shreds tailored specifically for foodservice operators. Leveraging the success of its new proprietary ingredient, Daiya Oat Cream™ blend, which was previously unveiled across retail in December of last year, these innovative shreds promise a dairy-like melt that browns just like cheese – perfect for foodservice operators and restaurateurs looking to level-up their plant-based offerings.
The key features of Daiya’s new Dairy-Free Cheese Shreds for Foodservice include:
The demand for dairy-free options in the foodservice industry has been steadily increasing, driven by shifting consumer preferences towards plant-based alternatives when eating out. With an ever-growing number of individuals embracing dairy-free diets due to health, preference, and environmental reasons, offering high-quality dairy-free options has become imperative for foodservice operators to cater to diverse customer needs and preferences. Daiya’s Dairy-Free Cheese Shreds address this demand by providing operators with a versatile and flavorful solution for both dairy-free and traditional cheese-loving customers alike.
“We’re excited to introduce our new Dairy-Free Shreds to Foodservice operators, following our retail launch last year” said Melanie Domer, Chief Commercial Officer at Daiya, “We’ve seen plant-based menu penetration grow by 262%* in the last four years, and ultimately what diners expect when they order a dairy-free alternative is that cheesy, ‘melts-like-dairy’ experience. The demand for such a product is there, and we’re delivering operators a solution that we believe bridges the gap between consumer expectations and dairy-free offerings.”
