Detailed background data
It has been assumed that the food processing industry is located in Denmark. Ingredients from the actual product declared by CONCITO: 88% seitan (gluten + water) and the remaining 12% estimated based on the nutritional profile of the product. Fat is assigned 100% to coconut fat and the remaining mass is assigned evenly to yeast extract, onion, spices and salt. Manufacturing is approximated as mayonnaise production by Hetherington et al. (2012). Gluten is approximated as soy protein. Retail is modelled assuming the following storage: Cooled. See more details as well as literature references in the methodoly report on: www.denstoreklimadatabase.dk.
Data on inputs and outputs of the food processing industry is modelled using: Wheaty (2020); Hetherington et al. (2012).
