This trend is particularly prevalent among the younger generation, who are more conscious of their food choices and their impact on the planet. Additionally, there is a growing demand for non-dairy milk options among lactose-intolerant individuals and those following vegan diets. This shift towards plant-based milk is also influenced by the rise of flexitarian and vegetarian diets in Canada.
