Clean-label has remained top-of-mind for shoppers and snack and bakery product manufacturers for the last several years, with formulation strategies growing more detailed and nuanced along the way. The drive toward ingredient simplicity isn’t going anywhere.
And even though compliance with the foodservice menu labeling was recently delayed (see the FDA “Menu and Vending Machines Labeling Requirements” page for complete details), it’s only a matter of time before operators begin required disclosure of ingredients for menu items. When that other shoe drops, we can expect a renewed push for clean-label in foodservice.
