Functional foods - shades of gray: an industry perspective

Article Abstract:

The creation of functional foods will be a challenge to the food industry. Many consumers want healthier food but they also want convenience and ease of preparation. This will require innovative products, processes and packaging. Functional foods will also have to be tested for safety and any health claims must be substantiated through scientific research. Regulations will also be needed to ensure accurate labeling and fair trade.
