Nutrition, health, ethnic foods are top trends for the year
The children of baby boomers and a growing population of nonwhite U.S. citizens are leading a charge to more adventurous eating, including a preference for ethnic flavors and foods.
Consumer interest in health, along with governmental attempts to combat obesity and the dairy industry’s increasing emphasis on the nutritional aspects of dairy foods are creating opportunities for dairy processors and marketers in 2014 and the years ahead.

Those are some conclusions Dairy Foods draws from analyzing trend reports from the International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association, the Dairy Council of California and Innova Market Trends.
