From One-Ingredient Breakfast Cereals to Two-Ingredient Tortillas
Laura McQuarrie — April 11, 2025 — Lifestyle
Many health-conscious consumers are going back to basics by investing in simple, minimal-ingredient products that are naturally nourishing and not heavily processed. This shift is happening in response to the better-for-you space becoming cluttered with a barrage of claims—protein-rich, keto-friendly, vegan, gluten-free, low-carb—that, while well-intentioned, often leave people feeling overwhelmed and skeptical.
Rather than chasing the next big label, today’s shoppers are prioritizing transparency, clean formulations, and foods and beverages that deliver satisfying flavor and texture without additives. This growing rejection of ultra-processed foods reflects a desire for authenticity and a return to real, recognizable ingredients that feel both wholesome and trustworthy.
As part of a new limited-ingredient range, M&S dropped Only 1 Ingredient Corn Flakes. Similarly, The Real Cereal Company makes its Organic Rice Crisps with just organic brown rice.
