Aligning Technology Roadmaps with Consumer Reality: Ultra-Processed Foods

Although ultra-processed foods are receiving increasing scrutiny from consumers, media, and regulators, they continue to play a central role in modern diets. Innovation is accelerating across nutrition, formulation, and processing, but these advances often progress without a clear connection to the evolving consumer expectations they are meant to address. This disconnect creates a widening gap between technical possibilities and consumer acceptance. Closing that gap requires a clearer understanding of how perceptions are shifting, where current offerings fall short, and which emerging solutions have the potential to deliver credible and valued improvements.  

This webinar uses Lux’s Innovation Helix Model, combining consumer insights and technology expertise to highlight innovations that meaningfully align technical capabilities with evolving consumer needs.
