The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases reveals that 90% of food allergies are caused by eggs, milk, fish, red meat, and nuts. Due to animal protein allergies, most of the meat consumers are inclined toward meat substitutes made of vegan protein, which ultimately drives the global soy protein ingredients market. In fact, according to a reference list of allergen data emperically observed, it was found that the allergen from chicken meat ranges from 0.5%-5% in Southern Europe. According to the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 12.2 million people are suffering from food allergy, of which two-thirds are associated with egg allergy. Consumers are, therefore, switching to protein alternatives, which are plant derived, such as soy, pea, and wheat. This, in turn, is driving the global soy protein ingredients market. According to the Health Focus data, nearly 17% of US consumers, aged between 15-70 years, are predominantly eating plant-based diet, with 60% of the population cutting back on meat-based products.

Moreover, companies in order to promote their products and supplement their sales are constantly emphasizing on the fact that phosphorus acid when taken in small quantities causes no harm. For instance, Pepsi, in response to several epidemiological studies, stated a research finding about health-effectiveness of phosphoric acids. Additionally, companies like Coca-Cola are even comparing the incorporated phosphorus content with food products, including milk, rice, chicken, to gain consumer ’s confidence.
