Mastering Clean Label Strategies: Meeting Consumer Demand for Transparency
Clean label means making a product using as few ingredients as possible and making sure those ingredients are items that consumers recognize and think of as wholesome—ingredients that consumers might use at home. It seeks out foods with easy-to-recognize ingredients and no artificial ingredients or synthetic chemicals, and it has become associated with “trust” with manufacturers of food.
Clean label is not a scientific term. Rather, it is a consumer term that has been broadly accepted by the food industry, consumers, academics, and even regulatory agencies. The primary purpose of clean labels is to address the consumer's concerns about substances in food that may adversely affect their health and prevent the mislead that can happen due to false claim.

- Natural ingredients: no artificial additives
- Simplicity: less chemicals and chemical ingredients

- Consumer perception of clean label and their drivers
- Requirements of food labelling
