Danone-owned plant-based brand Alpro has announced a multi-million-pound investment in the UK to make its oat drink from 100% British oats for the first time. The company will source the oats directly from British farmers, with the aim of strengthening local farming and supporting its plant-based range. The investment will build on Alpro’s previous £41 million (US$52.9 million) investment in its site in Kettering, England, after which equipment to reduce energy consumption and slash CO2 emissions and water usage was installed.
