Meeting consumer demand for healthier and tastier options
Consumers increasingly understand the health benefits of fiber, with more than half of consumers globally looking to add more fiber to their diets, according to GfK Roper Reports, 2010, which had 36,183 global participants.
In addition to their health benefits, such as digestive health, fibers also have functional attributes that can help meet consumer demand for other nutrition claims, such as ‘reduced sugar’ and ‘low calorie’.
“In today’s food and beverage marketplace, manufacturers are wading through an ever-changing tide of consumer demand for healthier and tastier options,” said Courtney Kingery, Director, Global Product Management, Health and Wellness, Tate & Lyle. “Consumers are looking for options that offer digestive health benefits include fewer calories from sugar, cleaner labels and the list goes on. Fibers can actually help manufacturers meet all of these needs.”
