- Health and nutrition awareness: Increasing awareness among consumers regarding the nutritional content of the foods they consume various dietary choices to promote overall health and well-being.
- Diverse milk options: Wide range of milk options are available such as whole milk, skim milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc. but consumers often face difficulties in comparing their nutritions.
