Cookies and Crackers - Brazil - November 2017

In order to increase consumption, especially among older people, companies should invest in innovation, particularly in new flavors and ingredients (such as vegetables and grains), as well as natural products with high fiber content. Products for breakfast and consumption on-the-go may also expand consumption occasions.”
