The increasing popularity of high-protein foods, termed "proteinmaxxing," is driving up the cost of whey protein, a key ingredient for many snack companies. This trend is partly fueled by the use of GLP-1 weight loss drugs, which encourage consumption of nutrient-dense foods, and revised dietary guidelines emphasizing protein. As demand surges, companies are facing shortages, increased prices, and the difficult decision to either absorb costs, reformulate products with less desirable ingredients, or risk impacting their business.
