From July 5: Consumers today want an increasing amount of information about the products they purchase, use, and consume. They seek more transparency as a condition for trusting brands. A recent study demonstrated that today’s consumer is going way beyond the traditional value drivers of Price, Performance and Convenience in the way they value and purchase brands. Emerging drivers around health and social responsibility are wrapped in consumer expectations of transparency. The study by Deloitte was commissioned by the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) and the Food Marketing Institute (FMI). It is no longer sufficient to simply list an ingredient. Consumers want to know what that ingredient is, where it came from and why it is in the product they are considering. Download Whitepaper.

From Feb. 2: Sometimes parents of obese children may be stereotyped as being less conscious of their children's eating habits.
