Food Genius Publishes Healthy and The Health Halo: Menu Trends and Insights Industry Report
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 16, 2014 -- Healthy offerings at restaurants are top of mind for many consumers, as new crops of health conscious quick-serve and fast casual restaurants launch and grow. From Freshii and Protein Bar and LYFE Kitchen, it seems as though you can’t go a month without hearing about a new chain opening that claims to offer all the convenience of fast food without the guilt. In honor of this fast growing trend, Food Genius™ has released their latest Industry Report: Healthy and the “Health Halo”: Menu Trends and Insights, detailing comprehensive data on what terms, attributes and language is used on menus to denote “health” in the eyes of consumers across the country. According to Healthy and the Health Halo, the term “healthy” is only one of the many terms being employed by these creative menu professionals. Other terms of note are “low fat”, “natural”, and “organic”. The perceived healthfulness of these and other terms benefit from the “health halo” in consumers minds.
With the growth of the health quick serve segment, Food Genius has some insight on the top stats related to these terms, for operators and manufacturers alike.
Key insights from Food Genius’ Report:
• The term “gluten free” has grown 5 percentage points in the past 12 months and can now be found at 9% of locations.
• The average price of a menu item containing the term “organic” is only $9.41.
• When the term “low fat” is combined with a preparation method in a menu description, the #1 prep method is “grilled”.
Healthy and the Health Halo: Menu Trends and Insights highlights data sourced from Q3’14 Food Genius Reports, the industry leading menu analytics dashboard provided by Food Genius.
