We live in the Penthouse of
Maslow’s Pyramid and we now
demand :
Whole Foods
Clean Label
non-GMO (USA)
E-number free (EU)
Raw foods (USA)
No (artificial) preservatives
No (artificial) additives & colorants
Natural Food(ingredients)
And these products should also be healthy,
tasteful, and not too expensive.
And of course we don’t want to become sick.
Hence, a high food safety level is still expected.

Natural product
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A natural product is a chemical compound or substance produced by a
living organism that is found in nature. In the broadest sense, natural
products include any substance produced by life.
Natural products can also be prepared by chemical synthesis (both
semisynthesis and total synthesis) and have played a central role in the
development of the field of organic chemistry by providing challenging
synthetic targets.
The term natural product has also been extended for commercial purposes
to refer to cosmetics, dietary supplements, and foods produced from
natural sources without added artificial ingredients.

Consumers are in the top of Maslow’s Pyramid (price is not an issue)
Fresh & Raw remains popular (but safe and with sufficient shelf-life)
All-Natural is the new norm (according to definition of our mothers)
Re-introduce the “old” ingredients (= clean label)
Consumers are well informed, respect them, communicate with them
