Health trends in ingredients and labelling

There has been a trend towards healthier ingredients and more transparent labelling in the food industry in recent years. Here are some of the key health trends in ingredients and labelling:

Clean labels:
Consumers are increasingly looking for food products with clean labels that are free from artificial additives, preservatives, and chemicals. This trend is driving manufacturers to use more straightforward, natural ingredients and to label all ingredients on the packaging clearly.
Plant-based ingredients:
Plant-based diets are gaining popularity, and many consumers are looking for food products made with plant-based ingredients such as nuts, seeds, legumes, and vegetables. This trend is driving the development of new plant-based meat alternatives, dairy alternatives, and other products rich in plant-based protein.
Reduced sugar:
There is a growing concern over the amount of sugar in processed foods and its impact on health, including obesity and diabetes. Hence, manufacturers are incorporating natural alternatives like stevia and monk fruit or decreasing the amount of added sugar.
Gluten-free:
More people are diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, leading to a growing demand for gluten-free products. This trend is driving the development of new gluten-free ingredients and products that mimic the taste and texture of gluten-containing products.
Organic and non-GMO:
Consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental impact of agriculture and are looking for food products made with organic and non-GMO ingredients. This trend drives the use of organic and non-GMO ingredients in food products and the development of new labelling standards to certify these claims.

Overall, these health trends are causing a shift towards healthier, more natural ingredients and more transparent labelling in the food industry. As a result, consumers are increasingly seeking food products that align with their health and wellness goals, and manufacturers are responding with innovative new products and labelling practices.
