Every year, more exhibits at the National Automatic Merchandising Association show feature products higher in nutrition and fiber, containing less sugar and artificial colors. But besides being concerned about personal health and wellness, today’s consumers want to know the products they buy are not harming the environment. They want product labels that explain the nutritional content, where they are sourced from, and what causes the company supports, such as animal rights and child welfare.
Consumers today want more information about food products than ever before, according to a panel of experts speaking on nutrition and wellness at the recent
NAMA
show in Las Vegas.
Panel moderator Sylvia Rowe, president of SR Strategy LLC, a food policy consultant, said concern about nutrition and wellness is greater than ever because of issues related to health that are not strictly about health. For example, improved health awareness has driven increased production of fruits and vegetables, but consumers are now concerned about how agriculture impacts the environment.

WAIĀKEA
natural alkaline water with electrolytes comes in 100 percent recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) bottles, a post-consumer recycled plastic.
WAIĀKEA volcanic water originates through both snowmelt and rain on the snowcapped peak of the active Mauna Loa volcano. Waiākea is then filtered through 14,000 feet of porous lava rock before re-emerging at its source, the Kea’au aquifer, located at the eastern base of the Mauna Loa volcano in a secluded area surrounded by rich and bio-diverse forest preserves.
Compared to regular or virgin plastic bottles, 100 percent RPET bottles use 85 percent less energy to manufacture, 90 percent less water and reduce carbon emissions over 90 percent. The bottles are also BPA free.
