As a forward thinking food manufacturer we have to look ahead to what people will be eating in the coming years and what will be on supermarket shelves. At Zinda Foods<\/a> we know that many “trends”\u00a0will actually become enforced as laws, but others will be as a reaction to growing consumer awareness and interest\u00a0in “ethical eating”.<\/p>\n

Here are our top five predictions:\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

1. Food security<\/strong> – we predict an ever\u00a0growing demand for tighter labelling on products beyond supermarkets<\/strong>\u00a0to protect people with allergens as witnessed in the FSA’s recent proposals<\/a>. Chairwoman Heather Hancock said the FSA had chosen the strictest of the options they had under discussion because “ultimately this is a life-threatening issue for a proportion of the population”.<\/p>\n

2. Rise and rise of sustainable eating<\/strong>\u00a0– buying environmentally packaged food is not good enough any more. People are becoming increasingly conscious of how food is produced and what that does to the environment – witnessed by\u00a0Selfridges recent move to have\u00a0no palm oil in their own brand products<\/a> and\u00a0Virgin moving to\u00a0 sustainable only palm oil in-flights. We predict a very big growth in ethical eating over the next 5 years<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>\u00a0Coupled with this is the\u00a0desire for food to be less processed and for “healthy foods” to actually\u00a0be more healthy<\/strong>\u00a0– Author Bee Wilson has a Twitter campaign calling out foods which are “BerryWashed<\/a>” –\u00a0\u00a0or to give it a more scientific term shed light on foods which suffer the “health halo effect” .This is where foods which are high in sugar, salt and additives are given the appearance of being healthy. We wrote an opinion piece on the same topic<\/a>.\u00a0We predict more people will call out & question the “necessity” of processing & see a return to more natural foods in the same way that people are calling out the validity of “clean eating” & faddy diets like “rainbow eating”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. Greater awareness of what we eat and how this effects climate change<\/strong>\u00a0– we believe this is becoming a growing concern. However we predict that\u00a0individuals will recognise more and more that what they do has an effect on a larger global problem. The Committee on Climate Change<\/a> released a large report on 2nd May about how the UK can phase out Carbon emissions & Green house gases by 2050 to help phase out global warming.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. <\/strong>Finally from the supply chain perspective we predict much more\u00a0accountability as to what is on food labels<\/strong>. We believe consumers\u00a0will demand greater awareness on GMO food & greater transparency on what is in the food on our supermarket shelves<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
