Growing consumer demand for transparency and healthier products
Accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Health & Well-Being trend globally moved into the spotlight of consumer’s interest. Data from Taste Tomorrow research show that 90% of global respondents read the packaging information, to learn more about the ingredients used (50%), the nutritional value (43%) and origin of the product (35%). The Taste Tomorrow data also show which nutritional values are the most searched for: sugar (45%), calories (44%), and fat fat (36%). 67% of worldwide respondents think removing fat will contribute to better health, and 66% think that removing sugar will lead to healthier people.
