Wellness is top-of-mind in Food service

In the current climate, due to the spread of COVID-19, wellness is top-of-mind for everybody. Consumers are becoming more mindful of their health and choice of foods and beverages. 73% of the consumers across Asia find products with added nutrients appealing (Source: Global Data – May 2020 – Global Survey inc. 10 Asian countries). From immune and digestive health to protein fortification, consumers are looking to add more functional ingredients in their diets to support their wellbeing. Beverage is the fastest growing category for well-being concepts, and Food Service is the preferred channel in which consumers want their drinks to have a little something ‘extra boost’ about them.
