Trend 1: “Pure” is the new natural


• Natural products are becoming the rule rather than the exception in most western markets, despite ongoing issues with a clear definition of what “natural” encompasses. One way around this has been marketing the “purity” of a product.

Ongoing use of ‘Purity,’ ‘Pure Origin,’ ‘True to Nature’

USA: Minute Maid Pure Squeezed. No pulp. Pasteurized 100% orange juice, Never from concentrate


Avoidance of “E” Numbers

UK: Ella's Kitchen Organic Baby Food Strawberry + Apples Drink. Soil Association Organic Standard certified. No added sugar, salt or water. No additives or thickeners. No E numbers or GM. No dairy, egg, wheat, lactose or gluten. No lumps or bits and nothing artificial

Sweden: Yoplait Selection de Yoplait Yogurt: Strawberry & Blueberry. No E-numbers. No artificial colorings. Fat content: 2.6%. Contains yogurt cultures for a healthy digestion


Keep Simple Things Simple

Phillippines: Cowhead Lite Pure Milk

Italy: Aqua Purely Natural Water. A world of good in every carton. Help ALB preserve this planet for future generations. Natural.


Simple Solution • In the EU, manufacturers are careful to avoid using E numbers on

packaging and certainly will aim to steer clear of the use of additives that sound like they were created in a science lab.

20112007

Ingredients: Water, vegetable oils and fats, fish oil, modified starch, emulsifier (E471, E322), preservative (E202), acidifier (E330),antioxidant (E385), vitamins ( vitamin E, vitamin B6, vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin D, vitamin B12), flavor, color (E160a), E-numbers EU approved.
