The global FATitudes™ research provides an understanding of consumer awareness, perceptions and behaviours around types of oils in packaged foods. It includes a year-over-year comparison of these measures as well as how difference demographic groups (age, gender and income) differ in their oil attitudes. This consumer dynamic may shape new food product innovation and development for CPG companies of all sizes and around the globe.
