SupplySide West 2011 – Booth 17049
October 12-13 – Las Vegas
In a VendorWorks presentation at SupplySide West, Danisco Global Business Director Peggy Steele, will debut findings from a consumer research study conducted in the United States and France this spring. The objective of the study was to gauge consumer understanding and perception of fiber. Steele will tell how fiber stacks up in importance among product claims and also what consumers expect from products that contain fiber.
Study results revealed that consumers clearly see the importance of fiber in their diet. Furthermore, it showed that consumers use front of packaging information more frequently than nutrition facts or ingredient lists when selecting food products. Steele will address whether consumers believe that all fibers are created equal and whether consumers know – or even care – about the differences among fibers. Presentation details follow:
