Gone are the times when snacks were considered simply an indulgence – tasty treats with little nutritional value. Consumers want a different kind of snack now. A satisfying bite with health benefits.
Increasing awareness of healthy eating has encouraged consumers to look for more natural foods without unnecessary ingredients.
According to Mintel, 84% of all consumers choose foods with “free-from” claims because they are seeking more natural and less processed foods.
