Turning novel proteins into trusted foods: Consumer perceptions of high-tech proteins

The biotechnology sector is advancing rapidly. As novel protein manufacturers prepare to bring products to market and regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, a critical opportunity is emerging. The way these products are positioned at launch will significantly influence consumer acceptance. A compelling narrative can reinforce support among existing advocates, win over undecided consumers, and build trust among sceptics.

This research builds on the findings of EIT Food Consumer Observatory’s recent reports:

• Uncovering consumer perceptions of the upcoming Biotech Act,
• Consumer Perceptions of Proteins for the Future,
• Future Scenarios for Alternative Proteins.
