How the Health & Wellness Trend is Impacting CPGs
The Health & Wellness movement has made great strides over the past few years, and has accelerated in the wake of the pandemic. How have CPG companies been impacted by this trend, and how are they positioning themselves and their product portfolios to cater to consumers’ desire to have more “healthy” lifestyles? What are some of the up-and-coming foods and beverage products that we may see later this year? How may some of the existing CPG products be tailored to adapt to this Health & Wellness trend? These are some of the questions that will be answered by in this Food Institute webinar.
Join The Food Institute as we invite leaders from the largest CPG companies, Joseph Chen, Consumer Insights, Wellbeing & Sustainability USA of Mondelēz International and Fran Guzman, Lead of Insights & Strategy of Kraft Heinz to share their insights and predictions on the impact of the health & wellness trend on CPG companies.
