Non-Dairy Beverages

Nutpods, a brand of Bellevue, Wash.-based Green Grass Foods Inc., said it introduced a new refrigerated product line: zero sugar oat “creamer.”

Consumers are shunning sugar, and there's no shortage of beverage innovation reflecting this reality. So it's no wonder that the U.S. retail juice segment has had a tough time of it in recent years.

La-Di-Da, a brand of New York-based Lala Brews LLC., said it debuted the world's first ready-to-drink "oatmilk" latte infused with full-spectrum hemp extract.

Denver-based Teakoe Tea Supply Co. said it added Teakoe Fizzy black tea to its line of sustainably sourced, whole-leaf, fresh-brewed ready-to-drink Teakoe teas.

Humblemaker Coffee Co., Seal Beach, Calif., said it released a line of premium functional cold-brew shots under its Humblemaker Coffee Co. of California brand.

New York-based Illycaffè introduced Illy cold brew: a ready-to-drink canned cold-brew coffee made with Illy's iconic blend of 100% Arabica beans, perfected over 85 years.

Silk, a Broomfield, Colo.-based brand of Danone North America, debuted ready-to-drink dairy-free lattes.

Because much of what Danone North America produces under its other brands falls into dairy territory, the company's plants must be very careful in managing the dairy/nondairy product mix.

Back in 1977, milk, the genuine dairy kind, was still a mealtime staple for most families. In fact, per-capita fluid milk consumption stood at 247 pounds, a whopping 101 pounds more than the tally in 2018, according to data from the USDA Economic Research Service.
