Ultra-processed foods were a major talking point in 2023 and are set to become an even bigger focus in 2024.
So, what are the implications for brands and retailers? How can they best navigate the shift away from ultra-processed foods? And how do consumers truly feel about the issue?
Drawing on exclusive new research, our latest Grocer Vision webinar will explore the fast-evolving debate about ultra-processed foods.
Our panel of retailers, manufacturers, health & nutrition experts and consumer behaviour specialists will analyse the latest consumer sentiment data, unpick consumer understanding – and confusion – surrounding UPFs and pinpoint what brands and retailers can do to ensure they are in a strong position on the issue.
We’ll identify the consumer groups most impacted by the UPF debate, explore how low-income households feel about it and suggest practical steps brands and retailers can take to help consumers make healthier choices.
Plus, you’ll get the chance to put your questions to our panel.
