575: Evolving consumer demands - how food manufacturers are responding

Whether it is health, sustainability, cost, or even the changes brought about by the big increase in GLP-1 treatments, the way we eat is evolving.

Consumer behaviours are shifting, and what motivates people in their food choices is encouraging food manufacturers to think about their approach to nutrition.

In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with BENEO and KREGLINGER , we unpack this evolving food landscape and how food manufacturers are facing up to the challenges and opportunities it presents.

As we see consumers who are increasingly health-conscious, sustainability-minded, and looking for products that live up to their expectations around taste and texture, how is the industry responding?

We delve into the crucial role plant-based proteins are playing in this new world, in particular faba bean products, as well as addressing issues such as supply, pricing and shifting consumer priorities.

BENEO and KREGLINGER will be appearing at the Food Matters Live event in Ascot on October 8th and 9th.
