    ‘Snackification’ Widespread Among Millennials

    New survey reveals behaviors and preferences of Millennials who snack regularly.

    ‘Snackification’ Widespread Among Millennials

    Most American Millennial snackers eat a snack in place of a standard meal at least once a week, according a survey of 300 male and female snackers in the U.S. aged 18-35. The survey was commissioned by Welch’s Global Ingredients Group and conducted independently by Surveygoo in January.

    When asked how often they eat a snack instead of having breakfast, lunch or dinner, 92% of respondents said they do so a minimum of once a week. Furthermore, half of the respondents said they replace a meal with a snack at least four times a week, while more than a quarter (26%) said they do so at least seven times a week.

    The online survey was commissioned by Welch’s Global Ingredients Group, the supplier of FruitWorx real fruit pieces and powders, and was conducted in January 2017 by independent market research company Surveygoo. The findings shed light on the true scale of the ‘snackification’ of mealtimes among Millennial snackers, an often-reported but rarely measured phenomenon.

    This trend could be a reflection of American Millennial snackers’ busy lives. They are snacking both at home and on the go, with 48% of Millennial snackers consuming snacks at work and 34% in the car. When asked why they snack, 39% of Millennial snackers said they do so when they are too busy to eat a proper sit-down meal, while 17% admitted to doing so when they “can’t be bothered to cook a meal.”

    When respondents were asked which factors are important in guiding their choice of snack, the three most important were taste (80%), nutrition and health (52%) and convenience (49%). They also said they are looking for whole food ingredients, such as whole grains (43%), real fruit (42%) and nuts (39%). Besides valuing real fruit, American Millennials who snack also prefer to know the origin of the fruit in their snacks. In total, 68% of survey respondents said it was important for them to know where the ingredients in their snacks, including the fruit, had come from.

    Wayne Lutomski, vice president international of Welch’s Global Ingredients Group, said, “The survey quantifies and expands on what we already suspected: the replacement of mealtime with snacktime among Millennial snackers is widespread. These consumers need their snacks to be convenient for their busy lives and contribute to their daily nutrition needs. Our survey findings tell us that there is an opportunity for snack products that can check all of the boxes—taste, convenience and natural nutrition.”

    The findings from the survey highlight the importance of using specific ingredients when creating snack products. Key teachings point toward demand for those that deliver excellent taste, convenience and authentic nutrition, with a preference for whole food ingredients that offer a strong story around provenance.

    FruitWorx inclusions by Welch’s Global Ingredients Group are real fruit pieces for snacking and baking products that satisfy all of these criteria, according to the company. They are made from the Concord grape, a distinctive, dark purple grape variety with a sweet, bold flavor grown in North America by Welch’s nearly 1,000 family farmers. In combination with an exceptional flavor profile, it delivers natural plant nutrients called polyphenols.

    Concord FruitWorx pieces provide the same flavor and polyphenols as the fresh fruit from which they were made. In fact, Concord FruitWorx delivers more than twice the polyphenols as the leading brand of sweetened dried cranberries, and three times as many polyphenols as the leading brand of raisins, the company claimed.

    Now available to food manufacturers throughout the U.S., FruitWorx real fruit pieces are made using a unique technology called ultra-rapid concentration (URC), which was developed by Taura Natural Ingredients.

    “With URC, Welch’s Global Ingredients Group is able to deliver the goodness of the Concord grape in a format that’s perfect for a multitude of snack applications, and which taps into the trends highlighted by our survey,” said Mr. Lutomski. “As we have found, American Millennial snackers are looking for their snacks to deliver great taste and authentic nutrition benefits. With FruitWorx pieces, snack manufacturers have an opportunity to meet the exact needs of this consumer and bring winning products to the marketplace.”
