"Put simply, snacking is increasingly important in American life, and it is likely here to stay. As the 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) stated in their Report, “Snacking is prevalent – almost universal.” The 2025 DGAC agrees, presenting at a recent meeting that 93% and 95% of children/adolescents and adults older than 20 years, respectively, consume one or more snacks per day. [...] As with many issues we discuss in the food and nutrition field, we have the opportunity to evolve our communications to better align with consumer priorities, needs, and behaviors, as well as improve the nutritional value of Americans’ snacks – if we do it right. In other words, if we are going to harness Americans’ snacking habit to help move the needle in the direction of greater diet quality, we must change the narrative around this now core eating occasion." Read IFIC President & CEO Wendy Reinhardt Kapsak, MS, RDN's ideas for how we can positively change the narrative around snacking: https://lnkd.in/eUS_gfKs

NEW! Sweet & Savory Insights: IFIC Consumer Research Reveals What’s Behind Americans’ Snacking Surge Whether it is a quick mini-meal, energy boost before a workout, a sweet treat at night, or a salty snack to enjoy with friends, one thing is clear: Americans love snacks. Given its growing importance, the latest International Food Information Council (IFIC) Spotlight Survey: American Consumer Perceptions of Snacking further examines how consumers approach snacking, the types of snacks they choose, and their definitions of the term. “While it is evident that Americans’ snacking behaviors and habits have evolved, we wanted to explore why,” IFIC President & CEO, Wendy Reinhardt Kapsak, MS, RDN, said. “Looking at snacking motivators is key to understanding how to help consumers find ways to ‘level up’ their meals and snacks, while also maintaining the joy and satisfaction snacking brings.” See the research findings here: https://lnkd.in/g_-4eRAk See the press release here: https://lnkd.in/g9xBkFqS #ConsumerInsights #Research #IFIC
