Albertsons is selling a lot of cottage cheese. The grocery chain's CEO thinks she knows why. "This one, I had to double-check the numbers, but cottage cheese is actually a strong growth category," CEO Susan Morris told analysts on the company's earnings call. Morris was asked whether Albertsons had noticed an increase in healthier items due to the rapid rise of GLP-1 drugs, which include Novo Nordisk's Wegovy and Ozempic. Patients who use the drugs are advised to eat protein-rich foods like cottage cheese. It's not just the diet drugs that are driving demand, though, Morris said. "Yes, some of that's from the focus on protein, lower carbs, perhaps GLP-1 users, and then, just being totally frank, TikTok is driving some of that," she said. "So, we're leaning into those categories." Read more about why cottage cheese sales are up at the link in our bio. Story by Brent D. Griffiths (Credit: Getty Images) #albertsons #cottagecheese #tiktok
