Consumers mistrust ultra-processed foods
Easing inflation leads to increasing volume sales for staples in 2025, with bread, and in particular baguettes, as well as rice, continuing to be the most popular staples. Sales of processed meat and seafood, as well as processed fruit and vegetables, continue to be hampered by a distrust of ultra-processed foods.
