In 2022, SEHHI, a programme to identify and label nutritious foods in restaurants, cafés, healthcare centres, hotels, grocery stores and supermarkets, was launched across Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile, further legislation is in the pipeline in the United Arab Emirates in accordance with World Health Organization guidance to regulate the marketing of unhealthy food and drinks, while tighter controls on social media advertising are also proposed.
Artificial and processed foods are generally seen by consumers as having the potential for harm. In the forecast period, this is expected to result in higher sales of natural products, as consumers try to adopt healthier lifestyles and prevent long-term illness.
Vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based alternatives, products for specific diets, and foods for those with intolerances to specific foods are expected to see rising popularity in the forecast period, as consumers seek to look after their own bodies, and show increasing concern over animal welfare and the environment. As such, no allergens, which is a dietary and free from type of health and wellness attribute, is anticipated to realise growth in cooking ingredients and meals over the forecast period, boosted by products like Nutricia Aptamil, which aims to support the wellbeing of babies who have allergies or are lactose intolerant, where exposure to cow’s milk formula (which usually contains lactose) could lead to health complications.
