Anita's Salted Caramel Pretzel Gelato is vegan-friendly and it does not contain lactose thanks to the use of non-animal dairy protein. A recent poll conducted by YouGov on behalf of Remilk reports that "50% of non-vegan US Adults say ice cream is one of the top three foods holding them back from veganism." This animal-free gelato speaks to the way that the dairy industry is being disrupted by innovative, alternative ingredients. Anita's Salted Caramel Pretzel Gelato will be delighting visitors to Future Food-Tech NY. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Alternative Protein-based Foods:** Remilk's dairy protein is disrupting the dairy industry by offering a plant-based alternative gelato option made from non-animal ingredients. - **Veganism and Non-dairy Diets:** Remilk's animal-free gelato speaks to the growing number of non-vegan adults who are considering adopting a vegan diet, but are held back by their love for ice cream. - **Innovative Ingredients:** The use of Remilk dairy protein in Anita's Salted Caramel Pretzel Gelato shows how companies can create new products by using innovative ingredients that cater to consumers' dietary preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Dairy Alternative Industry:** Remilk's dairy protein creates opportunities for new plant-based dairy alternatives that can compete with traditional cow dairy products. - **Ice Cream Industry:** The growing trend of non-dairy diets and veganism presents an opportunity for the ice cream industry to offer alternative, animal-free options to cater to changing consumer tastes. - **Food Ingredient Industry:** The use of Remilk's dairy protein in Anita's Salted Caramel Pretzel Gelato highlights the potential for innovative, alternative ingredients to create new food products for health conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dairy-Free Italian-Inspired Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valsoia-plantbased-gelato.md) - [Italian-Style Plant-Based Gelato](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-plant-based-gelato.md) - [Dairy-Inspired Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mwah.md) - [Animal-Free Dairy Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalfree-frozen-dairy-dessert.md) - [Animal-Free Ice Cream Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brave-robot-x-coolhaus.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-dairy-free-decadence-series.md) - [Dairy-Identical Alt Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remilk-the-new-milk.md) - [Air-Based Chocolate Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solein.md) - [Nut-Based Vegan Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nth-wonder.md)
