Whether you are an almond, oat, soy, coconut or just plain milk person, the options you have for dairy or nondairy alternatives are limitless, and the market for plant-based milks is huge. 

On this episode of The Stockout, Mike Baudendistel explores how one oat milk company is vying for market dominance through public offering. He discusses how Oatly is “putting cows out to pasture” and the response to the company’s IPO. 

Baudendistel explains the impacts plant-based dairy alternatives, not just Oatly, may have on CPG supply chains, especially as more Americans pivot away from traditional dairy consumption. 


He also looks at a FreightWaves report on refrigerated trucking for food products and how some CPG companies are seeking to reduce their carbon footprint through more environmentally friendly packaging.
