Incorporating well-being into every facet of their lives — particularly with the foods they eat — is a central focus of more and more consumers. Here are some key health-related trends and tips from Lenexa, Kansas-based Corbion:
Eating more healthfully is on the rise due to consumers seeking food that serves a health purpose.
– Research shows that 85 percent of global consumers are using food or drink products to improve or treat health issues like obesity, food allergies/sensitivities, heart health or cancer.
– Consumers are eating foods that provide these perceived health benefits and aid them with their specific wellness goals.
-They’re also disregarding foods with ingredients they consider harmful.
Building on clean label, free from and “real” ingredient trends, bakers are creating new products with simpler labels and recognizable ingredients.
– These new items drop artificial flavors, colors and preservatives and use “real” ingredients in place of things like artificial sweeteners.
– These trends center around the consumer perception that recognizable and/or natural ingredients are fresher, less processed and less harmful.
– Clean label is becoming an umbrella concept, under which consumers have begun to associate other healthy eating trends.
Clean-label is a top concern for consumers, but bakers should be careful when reformulating in order to maintain taste, texture and appearance.
– Over half of consumers say they pay attention to food ingredient labels, and 33 percent say they’ve increased their research on ingredients.
-Meeting clean-label demands is important, but should be balanced with taste, texture and appearance.
-Bakers should determine which health factors are most important to consumers to create products that meet these requirements while delivering on taste and quality.
