According to Ingredion’s research, 66% of U.S. consumers are aware of the term “genetically modified food.” In addition, Mintel GNPD reported that in 2014, launches of U.S. non-GMO products tripled from the 2012 level. And for years, the European Union has tightly restricted the sale of foods and beverages containing GMO ingredients. With these trends in mind, Ingredion Idea Labs has recently conducted additional research to better understand what consumers know about and expect from non-GMO ingredients.
According to this study, many consumers believe that non-GMO ingredients are healthier for both their bodies and the environment; and non-GMO product usage data supports these findings. The study also shows a significant increase in just two years, from 37% of consumers using non-GMO to 59%.
