Clean Label 2.0 – Discover the Next Generation of Clean Label Colouring Solutions
What is next in clean label?
The trend towards clean-label food and beverage products has long become mainstream. We can observe consumer behaviour evolving from “clean label” preferences to a more holistic “clean eating” pattern, Mintel reports. This clean eating or even clean living is often associated with natural and simple ingredients in addition to health and nutrition in the broader sense. Worthwhile to note that:
62% of US consumers use the mental shortcut of agreeing to the statement “the fewer ingredients a food has, the healthier it is.” Manufacturers’ or brands’ no-no lists can vary strongly and may include claims on no artificial ingredients, no allergens, no preservatives, or others. These are even being updated on a continual basis to cater to evolving consumer demands for pure and authentic natural ingredients.
Consumers’ demand for clean label has resulted in a reduction of labelling of selective additives and preservatives on food and drink packagings, such as modified starches or citric acid. At the same time, the naturalness trend remains omnipresent, and “all-natural” product claims increased by 8% in Europe in 2019 versus the prior year.
Sensient Food Colors has long been committed to supporting the clean-label efforts of manufacturers, so they can cater to consumers’ dietary preferences and choices.
