DLG Guided Tours

The latest innovations in confectionery and snack ingredients reflect the latest trends and developments in the food industry.

More and more consumers are paying attention to their health and are looking for snacks and sweets that not only taste good, but also add value to their diet. Trends such as the use of fermented ingredients to improve intestinal health and the immune system or the use of functional ingredients that help the body to reduce stress are conquering the market. The trend towards plant-based foods has also reached the confectionery and snack industry. More and more plant-based products are being developed. Vegan chocolate, plant-based protein bars and snacks made from pulses or nuts are examples of this development. But the upcycling of food waste and the creation of sustainable products also continue to be major topics. These innovations are important because they not only reflect current consumer trends and preferences, but also respond to major social and health challenges. They offer solutions to the desire for better nutritional options, sustainability and new flavour experiences.
