With health and wellness a top criterion driving consumer food choices, this first-edition Packaged Facts report offers a unique perspective on a hot topic, examining pharmaceutical-benefit foods (i.e., "phoods") and beverages including traditional (e.g., regular oatmeal, whole-grain breads), fortified (e.g., orange juice with calcium), and "designer" (e.g., protein bars, smart spreads) products.

Also covered are products enhanced with cutting-edge ingredients and nutrients, such as lutein for eye health, glucosamine for joint health, or probiotics/prebiotics to strengthen the immune system; as well as certain "inherently healthy" products, such as whole-grain/functional cereals and wellness teas.
The New U.S. "Phood" Market--Functional, Fortified, and Inherently Healthy Foods and Beverages, examines the factors affecting the growth of this market, including consumer trends, ingredient trends, the competitive environment, marketing and advertising trends, new product introductions, and a regulatory environment that is fostering wider use and awareness of pharmaceutical-benefit foods.
