Ingredients Insights Report

Free From

“Free from” is a catch-all term that can encompass products free from any specific ingredient, usually those linked to an allergy or intolerance. Gluten and dairy (including lactose) – the focus of this report – are the most mainstream avoidance ingredients within the “free from” space.

There is a trend of the consumer trying to avoid dairy and gluten, not only for medical reasons but because of the claims made that it is better for health to avoid these. This demand for “Free-from” products brings manufacturing challenges, as ingredients such as dairy and gluten in providing particular taste and texture.

When analyzing the consumption of gluten and dairy ingredients globally, 38% of consumers in GlobalData’s consumer survey claimed to be trying to either limit their intake of gluten or avoid it entirely. Fewer consumers, around one in five (19%), claimed to be doing the same for dairy. This suggests that innovation holds more potential in the gluten-free space than in dairy-free, given the proportion of consumers likely to be actively seeking out gluten-free products.

This report highlights how food and drink manufacturers can address the demand for products free from either gluten or dairy using on-trend and emerging ingredients.
