Inside BENEO’s new pulse plant: pioneering sustainable protein from faba beans
The a2 Milk Company has expanded its presence in the US market by signing a distribution agreement with Walmart. a2 Milk products are now available in Walmart stores throughout New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Maryland, and Washington DC.
Australia-based a2 Milk offers a range of alternative milk products which it claims are easier to digest than conventional milk products, as they do not include the A1 beta-casein protein, which can cause of digestive discomfort.
The new deal follows on from the company’s US expansion efforts earlier this year, which made a2 Milk products available from 1,400 stores in the US Northeast, and consumers can now find a2 Milk products at more than 6,000 retail outlets in the US.
Rising consumer demand from consumers with dairy intolerances has drastically accelerated the growth of the brand, and increased global sales led to the company recording a 68 per cent increase in annual revenue in its latest financial results.
