 “The increasing issues of health and obesity in the Australian community, and in particular, a focus on childhood obesity are a major focus of the future development of the industry.” (CMA, 2004)
With obesity and childhood diabetes on the rise, many people are looking for alternative and healthy snackfoods to satisfy their cravings.
With this constant demand for healthier snackfoods, manufacturers have been conducting research and development on a continual basis to improve their product ranges in accordance to consumer requests.
“As science and technology evolve, all manufacturers are seeking to review their recipes and incorporate new ingredients that will deliver healthier outcomes” (CMA, 2004). This also ensures that nutritional values and consumer health aren’t being compromised.
