The key elements of a clean label seem to be the consumers’ desire for simpler products with a transparent and short ingredient list they understand. At the same time plant-based meat and dairy alternatives are rising in popularity, but it remains unclear whether they can fully match consumers’ expectations in clean label terms. How can natural food products like gelatin or dairy take the lead and meet these demands?
GROW, Gelatin Representatives of the World, is a joint working group of the four regional gelatin associations GMAP (Asia/Pacific), GME (Europe), GMIA (North America) and SAGMA (South America). The association is holding a virtual roundtable event live on LinkedIn at which experts from all over the world will discuss clean label, consumer demands and food trends and their effect on the gelatin industry.
