Whole Grains Summit 2012

Whole grain in Europe

• Absence of a commonly agreed official definition of whole grain

…when  talking  about  whole  grain  food  products,  trends  and consumers, Europe cannot be regarded to as a

whole!

• Lack of dedicated whole grain consumption statistics

Whole Grains Summit 2012

A whole grain case: the bread

CURRENT WHOLE GRAIN INTAKE IS BELOW RECOMMENDATIONS: FOR EXAMPLE, THE EUROPEAN CONSUMERS PREFER WHITE BREAD, MADE WITH REFINED FLOURS.

White bread is not only dominant in the UK and in southern Europe, but also in countries with traditions of whole grain products like Germany, where the share of whole grain breads is stable at 10%. (1)

Although In the Nordic countries, whole grain breads have a larger share of the market, the white bread is dominant and the whole grain intake is still below recommended levels. (2)

In the Netherlands, wholegrain, brown (50% wholegrain) and white bread have about 25% of the market each, with white bread dominating the luxury and small bread market. The remainder is multigrain (white flour with some added grains) also popular in Germany and Austria.

• Pleasantness in comparison with the refined products: taste, texture and appearance (color)

• Manufactures’  advertising policies • Pricing (wholemeal flours more expensive than the refined ones)

• Consumers’ expectation on whole grain products availability, selection and quality • Consumers’ habit variability (gender, age, education, social class, race, ethnicity, health level)

• Consumer’s  mindset and reluctance to change • Eating out

• Misleading / confusing messages / labels (whole grain, high in fibre)

• Very complex food categories scenario (functional, nutraceutical, free-from, better-for-you, good-for-you…)

WG products and consumers’ behaviour - Europe

Source: from Arvola et al., 2007.

• Consumers in Finland, Italy and UK are aware of that whole grain products are healthy but that does no appear sufficient for a behavioral change.

• All cereal products, whole grain or refined, are apperceived positively for the health.

• Italians perception/approach on whole grain products should probably be evaluated taking into account the existing strong culinary tradition (i.e. Mediterranean diet).

• The grain positive and grain neutral consumer segments appears to be the most challenging group to promote whole grains products.

• Information on WG product benefits may not be the right strategy to promote WG consumption, but providing new WG options and making them widely available.

CROSS-NATIONAL RESULTS

Finnish consumers are the most favorable to the whole grains

A lack in the differentiation between whole grain and refined product is also perceivable for British consumers

Italians shown  lowest  rate  on  whole  grain’s  helthiness  expectation  and  less  appreciation  of  the  taste  as well

Whole Grains Summit 2012

• Deepening food companies understanding on what product-related attributes negatively affect whole grain products perception and adopting appropriated technological tools.

• Developing a wider range of whole grain products (new launches) as affordable alternative to the refined ones.

• Food marketing evolution to attract consumers to whole grain products: - more focused and effective massages (i.e. for grain positive and grain neutral consumers); - improve the evidence of the relation of whole grain and health.

• Solve the issue of the whole grain products identity by a shared European definition.

• Lowering the price

• Harmonize the health claims usage

• Increase the sensory appeal: - advances in milling technology and new food technologies; - use of new / suitable ingredient as flavors, ancient cereals or seeds;

• Promoting whole grain products use in the school lunches

GOAL

Increase the proportion of whole grain consumers

Increase the average intakes

FLABEL - European project

State-of- art  of  the  consumers’  behaviour,  and nutritional label, will provide guidelines for research, industry and policy-makers.

It is necessary to release a common definition of whole grain in Europe. Healthgrain Consortium (now Forum http://www.healthgrain.org) is taking care of it and has started the sharing of this definition since 2008.

It is necessary to know exactly how much is the whole grain consumption in each European country. Healthgrain Forum has just taken an action in this respect.

A promoting WG consumption strategy for Europeans could be in providing a wide range of WG end product options and making them widely available, relying on the overall positive health image of cereal products. This can be reached using suitable raw materials and processes that make the WG product sensory (taste, texture and appearance) similar to that of the refined ones.

Convincing consumers to adopt whole grain food seems still to be a pre-competitive sector where companies and research institutions can share common strategies.
