It can be easy to try to lump consumers into neat boxes: Meat eaters or vegetarians, Ketogenic eaters or low-fat dieters. Sugar-free or indulgence seekers. But in truth, most consumers fall along a spectrum — call it the flexitarian public.

At Natural Products Expo East conference, this spectrum of dietary habits was apparent across categories, as brands launched new products, line extensions and reformulations designed to appeal to a broad swath of shoppers. In this video, BevNET CEO John Craven and NOSH Editor Carol Ortenberg sat down to review notable trends and brands from this year’s Expo East, including developments in plant-based dairy items, the reframing of meal kits as “meal solutions” and advances in sustainable animal protein offerings.

To hear the duo’s thoughts on the show, view the video above. Stay tuned to NOSH for more coverage from Natural Products Expo East 2019 throughout the coming days and weeks, including episodes of Taste Radio, product galleries, news briefs and video interviews.
