Presenting a series of blogs which will help you make an informed decision while purchasing packaged foods
Estimates say that India’s food processing industry may touch close to USD 470 billion by
2025. In this mix, metros and mega metros lead the trend and Tier II and Tier III will emulate
them in their adoption of processed food in their daily lives.
While this happens, consumers in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad
will further evolve in their buying behaviour. Organic, Vegan and gluten free foods have
made their way into consumer homes. There is more awareness about organic foods that’s
pesticides free, keto diets, gluten free diets and so on.
While some are adopting it as a trend, there is greater awareness about the results of eating farm fresh, organic, natural, pesticides free products.

And lastly and most importantly, how we as consumers read them when we see it on the packaging of products that line the supermarket shelves. We are demystifying some of these words in a series of blogs for you so that you may make an informed decision when you are purchasing any food article.
