46. Talking Alt-Choc with Dr Johnny Drain, The Walter White of Fermentation

We’ve seen alternatives to meat and dairy products on the market for some time now, and the embracing of plant-based meat alternatives have sky-rocketed in the past few years, it is inevitable that this combination of culinary skills and scientific knowledge will play out across the food and drink space. WNWN Food Labs is just one of many new and exciting brands trying to forge ahead in this growing market with their first product, a zero-cacao chocolate bar, created from alternative plant-based ingredients. They are part of a small but growing movement called “alt-choc”.
Joining WGSN CEO Carla Buzasi is Dr Johnny Drain, aka ‘the Walter White of Fermentation’ and founder of WNWN food labs, and WGSN’s Head of Food and Drink Jen Creevy, to discuss consumers’ growing awareness of the ethics of our food supply chains, the power of fermentation in the latest plant based foods and what products WNWN could be planning next.
