Abstract

The ever-changing rules and regulations, coupled with the volatile healthy foods market, ensures that the manufacturer, distributor and retailer must define their field of enquiry. Branding Healthy Foods: Organic, functional & whole foods, a management report by Business Insights, focuses on three key areas: organic, functional and whole foods. Although each area is competing for the same consumer sector, each of these categories is highly distinctive and exclusive. The report explores the legal definitions and background to each group, following current brands and predicting future trends. UK and other European markets are analysed and discussed in depth, with additional guidance for the US, Canadian and Japanese markets.
