On 7 November 2024, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) approved Arla Foods Ingredients’ acquisition of Volac’s Whey Nutrition business.  The CMA concluded that whilst the merging parties have a significant share of supply of ‘regular’ whey protein isolate (i.e. standard non-clear concentrate with a protein content of over 90%) and a moderate joint market position in relation to whey protein concentrate (i.e. with a protein content between 50% and 89%), other suppliers will continue to exert sufficient competitive constraint. It further found that the ‘clear’ whey protein isolate market falls under the ‘de minimis’ exception. RBB assisted with economic analyses related to the geographic market definition and the closeness of competition between the merging parties. RBB’s team led by Adrian Majumdar and Ethel Maia da Fonseca, and supported by Alina Gruschka, advised Norton Rose Fulbright during the pre-notification phase and Phase I investigation.  #CompetitionLaw #MergersAndAquisitions #MarketDefinition #ClosenessOfCompetition

From trusted to busted: Amazon's new rules could flip the supplement market! Amazon's recent imposition of stricter requirements on nutritional supplement sellers aims to boost product safety and build consumer trust. These regulations demand rigorous testing and detailed documentation to substantiate product claims and ingredients. I'm curious to hear your thoughts: How do you think these elevated standards will transform the supplement market landscape? Could this lead to greater consumer protection, or might it present hurdles for smaller brands striving to remain competitive?

🔍 Find the secret behind effective sustained release properties using biopolymers! ⬇️ What makes SEPISMART™ SR a new standard in sustained release food supplements? Here is a quick overview of this innovative excipient! 💖SEPISMART™ SR IN 3 POINTS: • A blend of gums of natural origin: Acacia and Xanthan carefully selected and cogranulated without using any solvent. The cutting-edge cogranulation process maximizes their performance.  • A fine-tuned excipient with key physical properties, including excellent flowability and good compressive behavior. • An easy-to-use excipient suitable for tablet and hard capsule formulations. ❓HOW DOES IT WORK? 1.

I'm going to stick my neck on the line here and say that #GLP-1 agonists will shake-up the #foodandbeverage industry more than anything we've seen for a generation. Please note: for those of you who have been following me for a few years, you'll know I have never said this about #plantbased nor #meatanalogs (if you don't believe me check my feeds on LinkedIn and X (grahamcrobinson)) They have the ability to suppress consumption of food and beverage products right across the board, which will set manufacturers scrambling to limit damage to revenues. However, they will also spur the development of entire subcategories of #complementarynutrition products, marketed to consumers of GLP-1 agonists (potentially a large proportion of the population). These products will need to be high in #protein, #fibre, and essential #micronutrients, and potentially open-up entire product categories to suppliers of these ingredients. https://lnkd.in/d94-mhN6
