Full-fat milk sales rise as UK’s appetite for low-calorie options cools
- Sales of whole milk, full-fat yoghurt, and butter are rising in the UK as customers shift away from processed food and embrace more natural, whole-food ingredients.
- Waitrose has reported a 417% increase in searches for 'full-fat milk' and a 233% increase for 'full-fat yoghurt' on its website, while 'block butter' searches are up by 280%.
- Consumers' interest in 'low-fat' options has declined, with a shift towards qualities like low sugar content and contributing to the 'five-a-day' intake.
- This change in attitude towards fats is attributed to concerns about ultra-processed food and recent research suggesting that the link between saturated fat and heart disease is not as strong as previously believed.
