Clean-label foods refer to products that have simple and recognisable ingredients listed on their packaging. These foods are made using minimal processing methods and do not contain any artificial additives or preservatives. Various factors have driven the demand for such products:

• Health consciousness: consumers are becoming more conscious about their health and want to make informed choices about their food. They prefer natural ingredients over synthetic ones.
• Lack of trust and communication: a common issue is the lack of trust and communication surrounding e-numbered ingredients. Despite undergoing extensive safety studies, these ingredients are often perceived as something intimidating by consumers. As a result, many consumers tend to choose foods with ingredient lists that they can easily comprehend.
• Allergies and sensitivities: many people have allergies or sensitivities to certain food additives or artificial ingredients. Clean-label foods provide them with safe alternatives.
• Sustainability: consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of their food choices. Clean-label foods, especially those from the hands of the Dutch Food Engineers at Vaess, often use sustainable sourcing practices.

Moreover, at Vaess, we understand the importance of transparency regarding ingredient use, including e-numbers. While striving to meet consumer demands for clean-label foods, we recognize that in some cases, e-numbers are necessary for product characteristics. However, we’re committed to thoroughly explaining our ingredient choices to consumers to build trust and confidence. This commitment extends to our approach to clean-label foods, where we offer innovative solutions without compromising taste or quality.”
