It is part of a series of books and a website full of information to help you to care for yourself in pregnancy and all through your child’s first 5 years. We asked parents what information would help them most during their child’s early years. Parents told us that they wanted: • common sense information and tips on the general care of their child • information about their child’s development • advice about what to do if their child has a problem • details of the people and services to get in touch with for more help and support They also told us they wanted this information to be available online and in a printed version to keep at home. My Child is based on the most up-to-date information available within the health service, and on the experience and knowledge of child health and support services, voluntary organisations and parent groups. Each child is special and unique. Whether you are a new parent or you have done this before, we want to help you every step of the way. As your baby grows and becomes a toddler, their personality will be starting to develop. You can support them to grow to be a healthy, strong, resilient and confident child. All of the information in these books, and more, is online at mychild.ie. We are so grateful to everyone who helped to create these books, especially the parents.

  • Plant-Based Milk Alternatives
    Behind the hype: Plant-based milk alternatives Why is this an issue? Health concerns, sustainability and changing diets are some of the reasons people are choosing plant-based alternatives to cow’s milk. This rise in popularity has led to an increased range of milk alternatives becoming available. Generally, these alternatives contain less nutrients than cow’s milk. In particular, cow’s milk is an important source of calcium, which is essential for growth and development of strong bones and teeth. The nutritional content of plant-based milks is an important consideration when replacing cow’s milk in the diet, especially for young children under two-years-old, who have high nutrition needs. What are plant-based Table 1: Some Nutrients in milk alternatives? cow’s milk and plant-based Plant-based milk alternatives include legume milk alternatives (soy milk), nut (almond, cashew, coconut, macadamia) and cereal-based (rice, oat). Other ingredients can include vegetable oils, sugar, and thickening ingredients Milk type Energy Protein Calcium kJ/100ml g/100ml mg/100ml such as gums, emulsifiers and flavouring.

  • Everything but the Moo
    CHEESE everything but the moo PgO Everything but the Moo It’s a new era for nondairy cheese. by roberT wemiSChNer ACFCHEFS.ORG 37 CHEESE everything but the moo ir Isaac Newton may not have had the world of specialty food in mind when he said that “every action has an equal and opposite reaction,” but some of the same logic seems to be at play in the world of food, particularly in the growing corner occupied by artisanal scheese. One cannot consider the meteoric rise of small-scale dairy-based cheesemaking in this country without giving a nod to the burgeoning category of nondairy cheese. Nondairy cheeses are being hungrily incorporated into the diets of vegans, vegetarians and others who wish to enjoy some of the pleasures of real cheese without the offending dairy ingredients. Many are nut-based rather than dairy-based, but cultured and shaped to resemble classic European cheeses in a bid to gain the attention of a broad audience. Unlike the often unpalatable nondairy cheeses born out of the counterculture hippie fringe of 40 years ago, today there is a wide range of nondairy cheese products, some based on soy, rice or coconut milk, some containing lactose and casein, and others that are soft and creamy versions PHOTO CREDITS Previous page: Kevin Deseuste, 2014; top: Kunstadt; bottom, left to right: Photography © Liza Gershman, enlivened with herbs and based on cashews, almonds, macadamia or Brazil nuts. There are soft nut-based cheeses with the texture and nearly the taste of fresh ricotta, and rounds that can be cut like semisoft cheese, cultured, molded and even aged like their dairy counterparts.

  • NON-DAIRY MILKS 2018 - TREND INSIGHT REPORT It’S on the Way to Becoming a $3.3 Billion Market, and Has Seen 61% Growth in Just a Few Years
    NON-DAIRY MILKS 2018 - TREND INSIGHT REPORT It’s on the way to becoming a $3.3 billion market, and has seen 61% growth in just a few years. Non-dairy milks are the clear successor to cow (dairy) milk. Consumers often perceive these products as an answer to their health and wellness goals. But the space isn’t without challenges or considerations. In part one of this two- part series, let’s take a look at the market, from new product introductions to regulatory controversy. COW MILK ON THE DECLINE Cow milk (also called dairy milk) has been on the decline since 2012. Non-dairy milks, however, grew 61% in the same period. Consumers are seeking these plant-based alternatives that they believe help them feel and look better to fulfill health and wellness goals. Perception of the products’ health benefits is growing, as consumers seek relief from intolerance, digestive issues and added sugars. And the market reflects it. Non-dairy milks climbed 10% per year since 2012, a trend that’s expected to continue through 2022 to become a $3.3 billion-dollar market.2 SOY WHAT? MEET THE NON-DAIRY MILKS CONSUMERS CRAVE THREE TREES UNSWEETENED VANILLA ORGANIC ALMONDMILK Made with real Madagascar vanilla ALMOND MILK LEADS THE NON-DAIRY MILK bean, the manufacturer states that the CATEGORY WITH 63.9% MARKET SHARE drink contains more almonds, claims to have healthy fats and is naturally rich and nourishing with kitchen-friendly ingredients.

  • Almond Milk on the Rise
    Featuring LU ANN WILLIAMS Director of Innovation, Innova Market Insights Almond milk on the rise A plethora of plant-based, non-dairy milks has taken root even in mainstream supermarkets, and one standout among the options is almond milk. Lu Ann Williams, director of innovation, Innova Market Insights, has certainly noticed almond milk’s rise, noting “it just never stops” when it comes to innovation in the space. We sat down to talk the future of almond milk with Williams, and learned that this is one product category that is just getting started.

We are seeing new and interesting flavors and textures and that’s why value is growing faster than volume. It’s a premiumization story.

  • Impact of Increasing Demand for Dairy Alternative Beverages on Dairy Farmer Welfare in the United States
    Impact of Increasing Demand for Dairy Alternative Beverages on Dairy Farmer Welfare in the United States Alicia Copeland Department of Agricultural Economics Texas A&M University [email protected] Senarath Dharmasena Department of Agricultural Economics Texas A&M University [email protected] Selected Paper prepared for presentation at the Southern Agricultural Economics Association’s 2016 Annual Meeting, San Antonio, Texas, February 6-9, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Alicia Copeland and Senarath Dharmasena. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided this copyright notice appears on all such copies. 1 Impact of Increasing Demand for Dairy Alternative Beverages on Dairy Farmer Welfare in the United States Alicia Copeland and Senarath Dharmasena Abstract Production and consumption of dairy alternative beverages in the United States has been on the rise as per capita consumption of fluid milk continues to fall. Almond milk and soymilk are the fastest growing categories in the U.S. dairy alternative marketplace. Using household- level purchase data from 2011 Nielsen Homescan panel and tobit econometric procedure, the conditional and unconditional own-price, cross-price and income elasticities for soymilk and almond milk were estimated. Income, age, employment status, education level, race, ethnicity, region and presence of children are significant drivers affecting the demand for dairy alternative beverages, such as almond milk and soy milk. We use the estimates from the tobit econometric procedure to predict how changes in demographic profiles, prices and income will likely affect demand for the aforementioned dairy and dairy alternative products, and how these changes in retail demand will affect the blend price, production and producer surplus of U.S.

  • Oat Milk Chocolate Bars
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Amy Crowley 513-400-2813 [email protected] Endangered Species Chocolate Expands Oat Milk Line into Baking Aisle Launch of Oat Milk Chocolate Chips Gives Bakers a Better Choice INDIANAPOLIS (DATE) – Expanding on its oat milk chocolate offerings, Endangered Species Chocolate (ESC), is launching the first plant-based milk chocolate chip. Made with real, gluten-free oats and 55 percent cocoa, the Oat Milk + Dark Chocolate Premium Baking Chips are a better alternative with half the sugar of standard baking chips. The new product will be available this month at Whole Foods Market stores and additional retailers nationwide, and online at www.chocolatebar.com. “When we launched the Oat Milk Chocolate Bars earlier this year, the consumer response was overwhelmingly positive to the dairy-free alternative,” said Whitney Bembenick, ESC’s Director of Marketing and Innovation. “Customers love the lower sugar content and the sweet, creamy taste that oat milk brings to the table and with no ingredient substitutes in any of our products it is by far the better-for-you alternative. We wanted to replicate these benefits found in the oat milk chocolate bars and bring them to the baking aisle to change baked goods for the better.” ESC looked at all of the options — from almond to coconut milk — when creating the new offering. Nothing compared to the flavor profile that oat milk provided. Since its launch in January 2020, the Oat Milk Chocolate Bar line has been the most successful new product launch in the company’s history. “We are excited to offer Endangered Species Chocolate’s new baking chips because they offer our customers a new, plant-based chocolate chip option without compromising on flavor,” said Chris Poling Global Baking Buyer at Whole Foods Market.
