Nutrition

Nutrition is becoming increasingly important to today’s consumers, an overwhelming majority (90%) of European and US consumers feel that improving health is important and 64 per cent actually took "steps" to improve their health in the last 12 months*.

Consumers are more conscious of nutritional values of food in regards to low salt, low fat, low carbohydrates, low sugar as well as functional benefits; as a result there has been a growth in probiotic and vitamin enriched foods.

Healthy eating is only one element of healthy living, which should include improving fitness, drinking less alcohol and managing stress effectively.
