Savory Snack Bars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Mediterra Nutrition Bars Feature a Holistic Packaging Design

— April 2, 2015 — Lifestyle
Mediterra Nutrition Bars, a recent release from New York City-based Mediterra Inc., will soon be sold in over 350 Target locations, along with several health food retailers.

The savory snack bars have been met with an overwhelmingly positive response from consumers, a response which Mediterra founder Telemaque Lavidas describes as "unprecedented." Along with the great taste, the nutrition bars also feature a packaging design that emphasizes their healthful ingredients.

The ingredients and flavors in the six-bar range are featured prominently on the labels. These are flavors such as Sun-dried Tomato and Basil, Apricot and Almonds and Black Olives and Walnuts. The savory flavors are a departure from the typically fruity fare found in nutrition bars -- which might be why they've been met with with such a strong response in the first place.
Trend Themes
1. Savory Snack Bars - The rise of savory snack bars presents an opportunity for companies to innovate and create unique flavor profiles that cater to consumers' shifting preferences.
2. Holistic Packaging Design - The emphasis on holistic packaging design opens up avenues for businesses to incorporate sustainable materials and eco-friendly practices, tapping into the growing demand for environmentally conscious products.
3. Shift in Consumer Preferences - The strong positive response to Mediterra Nutrition Bars signals a larger trend of consumers seeking healthier, flavorful alternatives to traditional nutrition bars, creating an opportunity for companies to revamp their product offerings and meet this demand.
Industry Implications
1. Health Food Retail - Health food retailers can benefit from the rising popularity of savory snack bars by stocking a diverse range of flavors, attracting health-conscious consumers looking for unique and satisfying options.
2. Packaging Industry - The focus on holistic packaging design presents an opportunity for the packaging industry to develop innovative, sustainable solutions that align with the growing consumer demand for eco-friendly products.
3. Food Manufacturing - The shift in consumer preferences towards savory snack bars opens up avenues for food manufacturing companies to explore new flavor combinations and develop innovative techniques to meet the evolving needs of health-conscious consumers.
