\"70%<\/div>\n
A new survey<\/a> reveals that 73 percent of Indians<\/a> prefer to read ingredient lists<\/a> and nutritional value<\/a> before purchasing snacks, highlighting a growing inclination towards healthy snacking<\/a> in the country. The Healthy Snacking Report 2024, released on Sunday, is based on a survey of over 6,000 people across India and aims to examine the evolving consumption trends.<\/p>\n

“Seventy-three per cent of those surveyed prefer to read labels<\/a> for ingredient lists and nutritional value before making a purchase. Of this, 93 per cent expressed a desire to transition to healthier options, highlighting a correlation between label reading and conscious choices while pushing for transparency,” read the report.<\/p>\n

The report comes in the wake of increasing cases of food adulteration<\/a> in products such as spices, confectionaries, and fast-moving goods. This issue has prompted consumers to be more cautious, with many checking food packets for potentially harmful substances.<\/p>\n

The survey found that 9 out of 10 respondents are looking for healthier alternatives to traditional snacks. Specifically, nearly 60 percent of Indians are now opting for natural, additive-free products containing wholesome ingredients like nuts, seeds, and whole grains.<\/p>\n

Makhanas<\/a> (foxnuts) and dry fruits<\/a> have emerged as popular choices in the healthy snacking segment. According to the report, 67 percent of Indians prefer these nutrient-dense options.<\/p>\n

“In a true testament to the growing popularity of makhanas in India, 59 per cent millennials called it their trusted snack, followed by Gen Z (49 per cent) and Gen X (47 per cent), indicating its popularity across people of all ages. Additionally, over 70 per cent revealed that their favourite time to snack was with their evening cup of tea\/coffee,” the report added.However, the shift towards healthier snacks is not without its challenges. Over 58 percent of those surveyed identified “high retail costs” as a barrier to making the switch.<\/p>\n

The consumer insight study<\/a> was conducted by the snacking brand Farmley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
