Better For You Eating – What Do Consumers Want?

Only 9% of US consumers say there are putting in less effort when it comes to healthy eating. This highlights that most consumers are at least maintaining effort towards wellness, and brands should respond. While wellness terms may be redefined, certain tenets will continue to bear scrutiny: personal health is the primary catalyst of change to eating habits. This means claims and BFY benefits will keep resonating with consumers not only afflicted with specific needs but those looking to avoid them.

BFY Food Industry – Growth Opportunities

While limiting harmful excess and ingredients will always be a part of wellness, allowing indulgence and putting BFY spins on old favorites will resonate more with consumers. It also aligns with modern approaches to health management. Only limiting the “bad” won’t cut it; while curbing excess will always be a part of healthful eating, changing the focus to what you add can fall in line with the changing tune around dieting. Taking the emphasis off of restriction also aligns with mental health – a facet of wellbeing that is being recognized as interconnected with diet and physical wellness.
