The future of clean label

The various sanitary crises and the demonization by the media of a controversial ingredient or additive have accentuated the crisis of consumer confidence toward the food industry, leading to the paradox that, while food has never been as safe as it is today, consumers have never been as suspicious toward the products they buy.
