Ingredion Inc., Westchester, Ill., launched a new foodservice growth guide titled “Put profitability on the menu,” which details how foodservice operators can drive sustained clean-label growth in the foodservice sector. With more consumers linking simple ingredient lists, recognizable ingredients and minimal processing with the clean-label experience, foodservice outlets have an opportunity to accelerate business growth and returns, the company says. “Put profitability on the menu” explores the key trends underpinning clean-label growth, how to capture the business value of clean-label, and how to extend menu options with ingredient innovation, it adds. “The global foodservice is currently forecast to reach $3.2 trillion by 2023, based on a CAGR of 2%,” said Daniel Haley, global platform lead for Clean & Simple Ingredients at Ingredion, in a statement. ”Evidence shows that the foodservice industry is largely adopting clean labels as a business strategy and that commitment toward these changes is long term, which is wonderful. It’s with this robust and comprehensive growth guide that we aim to deliver key insights for foodservice operators at this pivotal time.”
