Transparency, Trust and Technology Are Key to Future of Clean and Simple Food, Says Ingredion
27 May 2016 --- Transparency, trust and technology are the key themes to emerge in Ingredion’s new report into the future of clean and simple food. Mobile technology and social media will increasingly facilitate consumer access to wide-ranging food related information. From farming and production methods to ingredient sourcing and product composition, technology will drive transparency and build trust between manufacturer and consumer.
‘2020: The Future of Simple, Natural and Clean Label Food’ draws together the views of industry experts including regulatory consultants, ingredient suppliers and food futurologist, Dr. Morgaine Gaye. It looks at how the clean and simple landscape could develop and the level of impact on the food sector. The future of four current food industry trends are explored in the report: clean label, natural, free-from and organic.
- Ease of access to information on food production and ingredients will bring greater transparency and create more trust between manufacturers and consumers
- Technology, particularly mobile and social media, will be a key driver in label simplification
- Labels will be quieter with less ‘story’ and more inference as information increasingly shifts online
- Sustainability, seasonal and local will overtake organic to become the consumer drivers of choice
- Personalised nutrition begins to emerge as technology drives diagnostic advances
- Minimal processing will continue with the emphasis on recognisable ingredients and making the most of what is available in its unmodified state
