“Food trends for 2010 are dynamic and complex, particularly considering the role of “natural” foods in the industry. We see that consumer attitudes to health are changing and their understanding of their own personal nutritional needs is growing. In response we’re seeing manufacturers taking proactive steps towards healthier formulations including reducing fats and added sugars,” says Van Uffelen.
“The Healthy & Nutritional Bars Conference brings together the know-how on consumers, markets, retail channels, brands and innovations. Sponsorship support is vital to ensure this event continues to be the success it has been to date,” says conference organiser Marjolijn Cohen of Bridge2 Food.
“We are pleased to be able to support such a worthwhile event for our industry,” says Van Uffelen. “I am looking forward to meeting with many of our suppliers, partners and customers again in February.”
