Egg-Celent Option
Prepared Foods talks with Harold Bollaci, founder and CEO of The Vegg New York, LLC, maker of a 100% plant-based egg substitute.

Sustainability Sells!
Prepared Foods talks sustainability with Innova Market Insights’ Co-Founder and Global Insights Director Lu Ann Williams. Innova research shows consumers increasingly interested in matters of food and packaging waste. New packaging designs, use of “upcycled” ingredients and other factors are influencing new product development as well as on-pack product claims.
