India Leans Towards Labelling In Fight Against Obesity March 27, 2022: 12:00 AM EST As India experiences a growing obesity problem, its government wants to use labelling to stem the tide and has delegated the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India to implement the changes. Government departments, including the health ministry, also have a role to play, and the consumer affairs ministry will provide advertising guidelines to limit the promotion of junk food. The issue of labels on the front of packaging, detailing how much fat, salt and sugar processed food contains, has been a discussion point for a while. These details are currently on the back of packs, but government pressure could accelerate change. Obesity is a major problem in the country. The Indian Journal of Community Medicine found that over 135 million people there are obese.

New Study Finds UK Consumers’ Diets Lack Fiber March 10, 2022: 12:00 AM EST New research from Nestlé Cereals finds that only half (51%) of U.K. consumers believe they consume enough fiber in their diet. Fiber is an essential part of a balanced diet and has various health benefits such as reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Fiber can easily be increased through eating food high in whole grain, yet the vast majority of British consumers (85%) have little or no knowledge of whole grain and its nutritional value. Additionally, a third (34%) of U.K. consumers are unaware of what products contain whole grains. Nestlé Cereals hopes to address this issue through its green banner on packs that signifies the product has whole grain as its main ingredient.  The company has also added 106 million more 16g servings of whole grain to its cereals in 2020 versus 2010.  Oliver Morrison, "Confusion over whole grain means consumers could be missing out on nutritional benefits", FoodNavigator.com, March 10, 2022, © William Reed Business Media Ltd

Times Of India Outlines 2022 Healthier Food Trends March 4, 2022: 12:00 AM EST Indian eating habits are changing in response to global factors such as the COVID pandemic, climate change, and consumer awareness about sustainability, zero waste and cleaning eating. A recent article highlighted key trends in India. It sees Indian consumers becoming more experimental as healthy snacking evolves, with one report finding around eight in 10 Indians want to replace one or more meals a day with snacks. Other studies found that healthy snacks are increasingly seen as meal alternatives as well as providing comfort and health benefits. More generally, the article expects more conscious eating to prevail, with a greater focus on local ingredients and more concern about the pros and cons of different types of food; increasing demand for superfoods, such as millets, of which India grows nearly 80 varieties; more interest in non-native foods, such as olive oil, often seen by Indians as an out-of-home aspirational flavor, but increasingly as a healthier oil for at-home food, and for different fruits and vegetables, such as broccoli, red cabbage and dragon fruits; plant-based food and beverage options, including plant-based milk; and greater awareness of sustainability and zero waste issues.
