A Healthy Perspective: Protein Trends and the American Consumer
Americans’ food values are shifting. With these changes comes a new importance for understanding where consumers stand on important food and nutrition issues. The IFIC Foundation Food & Health Survey provides over 10 years of insights into American protein trends and food values. Over this period, protein has grown in prominence as a key nutrient that American’s are aiming to consume. This presentation will uncover deeper insights into American’s perceptions, and misconceptions, about protein. We’ll also dive into new findings about consumer definitions of the term “healthy”, in-depth views on processed foods, and drivers of food purchasing.
