Due to the significant increase in the global prices of coffee and chocolate, caused by the impact of climate change on producing countries and rising production costs, alternative cereal-based products are gaining popularity in Europe as demand for these substitutes surges. These alternatives, which include soluble barley and cocoa-free chocolate made from roasted malted barley powder, are becoming increasingly important as a cost-effective solution for consumers and manufacturers facing the financial strain from the soaring prices of raw materials. The global market for these coffee and chocolate substitutes is anticipated to continue its growth, with advancements in synthetic alternatives under development. However, EU regulations maintain strict standards for the naming of these products, ensuring that they do not mislead consumers by falsely representing themselves as the original products.
