Proactive Health: Combining Healthy Halos and Science
29 APR 20191 MIN READ
Summary
There can often be a disconnect between what consumers perceive as healthy in a food or beverage, what science shows is healthy, and what claims can be made.
How can you deliver on-trend foods with a strong health halo, while ensuring consumers get the health benefit they expect from a product?
In this webinar, we will explore answers to questions such as:
Which health or functional benefits (e.g. digestive health, sleep, mood) do consumers want most, from their food and beverages?
What are the high opportunity categories? What foods or dayparts should be the focus for different benefits?
Which ingredients have strong health halos among consumers for each health benefit?
Does scientific evidence support these healthy halo perceptions?
What are some innovation strategies to develop products that meet both consumer expectations as well as real health benefits through science?
