Confectionery
Confectionery today more than ever is about offering consumers great tasting products. The trend is towards premium products and range extensions offering new and exciting taste experiences. At the same time, confectionery markets, like all markets, are being influenced by a growing demand for more nutritious products as people attempt to lead healthier lifestyles. In general, more and more confectionery products are being launched touting health-orientated claims such as low fat, low/no sugar added, vitamin and mineral fortification, reduced calories and portion control.

Cereal bars are an ideal product for today’s consumer, satisfying all three key ‘mega trends’ – health, convenience and sensory properties.
