Nutritional balance
Consumers nowadays are taking a much more a holistic approach to nutrition, and front of pack labeling is helping them evaluate their food & beverage choices.
- While in the past avoidance was clearly driving consumers to scrutinize labels, i.e. to avoid sugar or salt, we now see that more and more consumers also look at the ingredients list to identify more beneficial ingredients.
- Our IngredienTracker™ research shows us that although a majority of consumers (59%) are checking labels to avoid certain ingredients, almost half of them are seeking certain ingredients. And that seeking piece has grown by 6 pts since 2019, while the avoidance number remains constant. So, not only are people continuing to avoid ingredients they perceive as unhealthy, there is also a growing awareness that certain ingredients can bring real health benefits.
