Meat substitutes
Article Abstract:
The meat substitute market is likely to grow if food scares continue and people are concerned about low fat foods. Fears about eating meat have resulted in people who are not vegetarian trying meat substitutes such as textured vegetable protein (TVP), tofu and Quorn. TVP has 67% of market sales but Quorn sales are increasing because it is low in fat and can be used in a variety of ways. Other relevant factors which affect the meat substitute market include the increasing number of convenience foods which use it, more working women and more freezers and microwaves in the home.
