Consumers want transparency from the packaged foods they purchase, and what better way to showcase the ingredients in a product than with a food bar. Whether used for energy, meal replacement or snacking, food bars have become the go-to food for an increasing amount of consumers who don’t have time to eat a square meal at home.
With clever product packaging, food bars can visually showcase their ingredients, whether they are nuts, seeds or fruits. To bind these ingredients, bar manufacturers are turning to honey. Not only does it perform key functional roles in bars, including binding and mouthfeel, but it also gives bars a sweetness from an all-natural ingredient.
