Bars, Jerky, Yogurt and Beverages Top Portable Nutrition Trends

The health and wellness trend is pervasive, as seen by not-so-fad diets that are influencing dietary claims decorating packaged products. Some well-established dietary preferences are still growing in popularity, such as vegan and paleo, but now, increasingly specific and more individualized claims like ketogenic, Whole30 and FODMAP-friendly also are becoming more common. These diets are gaining traction because when it comes to health/wellness and nutrition, one size doesn’t fit all.
