FiNA Theater: Formulating for growth
1
As health concerns like diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and cancer continue to grow in the US, consumer and government focus on food formulations and ingredients continues to grow as well. This is driving a renewed focus on sodium, sugar (in particular added sugar), and fats. At the same time, while some consumers are leaning into the idea of using “food as medicine” others are leveraging supplementation for specific ailments. NielsenIQ (NIQ) will share the latest trends on how wellness is driving product formulations. Highlights include:
-How the consumer hierarchy of needs of wellness is evolving
-The latest trends on added sugar, fat, sodium – especially as it relates to proposed new changes from the FDA on the term “healthy”
-A deep dive into the specific health and formulation trends around one of the fastest growing ailments: diabetes
-A look at clean label food & beverage and supplementation trends
-An understanding of the intersection of food as medicine and supplementation on key health ailments.
