Owing to such harmful effects, manufacturers, as well as consumers, are seeking healthy and plant-based food products.

Organic food corresponded with changes in consumer habits has also fueled the demand for organic veggie snacks, organic veggie crisps, and other organic plant-based products in the global market.
