More transparent than ever – Puratos Glazes

There is an increasing global need for transparency which has been accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. This brings a moment of great challenge and opportunity to the food sector. 

The Covid-19 crisis has made people more conscious of what they are putting in their body. A survey conducted by our research team states that consumers are seeking more information about the products they consume. The vast majority of consumers in Europe (90%) state that they read the information on the packaging and 65% of the consumers read the ingredient list on food labels. (Consumer survey “ Taste Tomorrow”, 2019) This is a clear indication that consumers are paying more attention to the labels on the food products and demanding for more transparency. 

Covid-19 also significantly reduced consumers impulsive buying, (Source – Economic times) This has led to the art of patisserie glazing being more relevant now more than ever to stimulate the impulsive buying at your patisserie or bakery shop. In a recent survey conducted by Puratos USA we asked consumers to choose between various glazed and non-glazed baked goods. The result? A staggering majority of consumers favored the glazed items. After all, “what looks good, sells“ still remains key when buying indulgent food products.
