As consumers have made it clear that they trust what they understand and perceive to be fresh, "real" ingredients, and as they demand the right to know what is in the foods they eat, should it come as a surprise that those same consumers are now insisting on the same right for the foods they feed their pets? The focus on a clear brand message and using language consumers clearly understand is growing and not going away, according to Lynn Dornblaser of Mintel.
A clean label utilizes simple packaging that conveys clearly the benefits of the product and lists easy to understand ingredients—this often means ones that consumers eat themselves.
