Fats & Oils

Olive oil, meanwhile, tops the list in every country for impact on purchase and perceptions of healthy lifestyle in packaged foods, followed by fish and avocado oils.

 Most consumers (68%) across the world closely monitor the type and amount of fat and oil in their packaged food, according to a recent global study from Cargill.93% were aware of omega-3s, which is an important nutrient with many health benefits some consumers don’t get through their typical diet. In most countries, an organic certification on a label is more impactful on purchasing decisions versus a non-GMO verification.

Studies confirm that consumers track what goes into their bodies by closely reading labels of packaged foods, with fat and oil type as strong purchase consideration factors.
