简介目录

本报告分析了消费者购买有机和清洁标籤食品和饮料的行为和偏好,并重点了解消费者的态度和购买模式。此外,本报告还强调了有机和清洁标籤空间在更广泛的食品和饮料行业内扩展的潜力,以及可能阻碍其进步的障碍。本报告考虑了消费者人口统计概况、消费者信念、消费者驱动因素和消费者饮食选择。也考虑更广泛的经济因素,例如通货膨胀和 COVID-19 大流行,以评估它们对消费者行为的影响,特别是与有机和清洁标籤产品相关的影响。

"清洁标籤" 的概念涵盖了消费者关心的几个重要事项,例如食品成分、生产方法和生产者本身。清洁标籤标准包括使用简单易得的原料、类似家庭烹饪的最少加工,不使用添加剂或人工成分、不使用杀虫剂、激素、抗生素或基因改造作物等多种因素,包括可持续和环保的做法。

每个人对 "清洁标籤" 的理解可能有很大差异。虽然有些产品可能被认为比其他产品更纯净,但消费者普遍认为清洁标籤声明的真实性不能被单纯的包装声明所掩盖。许多消费者认为,衡量产品纯度的真正标准在于所提供的成分和营养讯息,使消费者能够充分了解他们选择的产品的清洁度。

The Packaged Facts report analyzes the behaviors and preferences of consumers purchasing organic and clean label food and beverage items. It focuses on understanding the consumer mindset and their purchasing patterns. The study sheds light on the potential for expansion and the hurdles that could impede the progress of the organic and clean label segment within the broader food and beverage industry. It takes into account the demographic profiles of consumers, their beliefs, what motivates them, and their dietary choices. The report also considers the broader economic factors such as inflation and the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluating their impact on consumer behavior, particularly in relation to organic and clean label products.

The concept of "clean label" encompasses several key consumer concerns, including the contents of food, its production methods, and the producers themselves. Clean label criteria involve a range of factors: the use of simple, familiar ingredients; minimal processing akin to home cooking without the use of additives or artificial components; the avoidance of pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetically modified organisms; practices that are sustainable and environmentally friendly; traceability of the product and transparency of the company; ethical and socially responsible business conduct; thoughtful sourcing, often from local providers; and honest marketing practices.

The perception of what constitutes a "clean label" can differ widely among individuals. While some products may be seen as purer than others, there is a general consensus among consumers that the authenticity of clean label claims cannot be obscured by mere packaging statements. Many believe that the true measure of a product's purity lies in the ingredient and nutritional information provided, enabling them to make informed decisions about the cleanliness of the products they choose.
