The financial impact of mandatory ultra processed food labelling is becoming clearer. According to a report from Food Industry Executive, the cost floor for these labels is estimated at 14.2 billion dollars, a figure that does not even account for potential losses in agriculture or imports.
This comes as the global food market faces further instability. The World Bank predicts that food prices will climb by another 7 per cent in 2027.
Meanwhile, the rise of GLP-1 weight loss drugs is causing operational strain. Danone has reportedly seen its supply chain struggle to keep pace with the shifting demand driven by these medications.
