Danone is bringing bottled food to Czech supermarkets in a move that could reshape the market for meal-replacement products. The French food company has taken control of Britain’s Huel and plans a major expansion of the brand on store shelves.
That expansion would place Huel in direct competition with the Czech brand Mana, as well as with Danone’s own Alpro brand. The contest is over customers in a market where bottled meal replacements are already attracting attention.
The article presents the multibillion-dollar merger as a major change for Czech supermarkets and asks whether Huel can replace the popularity of Mana and Alpro.
