THE PRIORITIES THAT DRIVE NEW PACKAGE CLAIMS


Food Product Design reports on the priorities that drive new package design.
According to new data from Mintel’s Global New Products Database, the health-focused, on-package claims for new food and beverage products serve as key indicators of consumer preferences and priorities.
Among the nearly 20 most popular health-related claims for new products launched in 2011, the top three claims were “Kosher” at 27.4%, “All Natural Product” at 13.1% and “No Additives/Preservatives” at 12.9%. Near the bottom of the list was “No HFCS” at 2% of product introductions, or around 400 out of 20,000 total new products launched.
Inside:
  • Health-related food claims among new products launched in 2011.
  • “No HFCS” new product package claims by major category.
  • Implications for food and beverage companies as they make decisions about product formulation.

Written by Bruce MacDonald, a 30 year veteran of the Agri-food industry, in "Social Media Marketing in Agri-Foods: Endless Profit and Painless Gain", Bruce applies his background and expertise in Agri-foods and social media to the latest trends, tools and methodologies needed to craft a successful on-line campaign. While the book focuses on the Agri-food market specifically, I believe that many of the points Bruce makes are equally applicable to most other industries.
