Raising the steaks for plant-based proteins (and why consumers have beef)

Raising the Steaks: Elevating Plant-Based Proteins

In the land of the plant-based meat market, NotCo stands at the forefront, boasting an impressive average star rating of 4.34. This positions them notably 0.76 stars ahead of the competitor's average.

Unsurprisingly, Flavor & Taste emerges as the most frequently mentioned theme within reviews, accounting for over 26% of the commentary. However, it’s within Ingredients & Formulation that NotCo truly differentiates itself from the crowd.

Issue #30 Plant-Based Meats
  • Constituting 9% of total review mentions, Ingredients & Formulation emerges as a clear pain point for consumers. Interestingly, when this aspect is brought to attention in reviews, the average star rating experiences a 16% decline when compared to the overall category rating. Notco stands out with only a slight 2% decrease, underscoring their dedication to maintaining quality and consistency.
  • In contrast, among reviews not associated with NotCo products, the prevailing sentiment is disappointment with frequent formulation changes. Many expressed a preference for the original formulation and lamented a perceived decline in the overall healthiness of the products.
