Free From

The Free From industry is growing rapidly. Dairy free, gluten free and allergen free are becoming more mainstream and accessible on supermarket shelves and in the foodservice industry. And not only the variety and range of products, also the demand is growing. More and more consumers are choosing Free From products, because of food allergies and because of lifestyle choices.

This 9th annual edition of Europe’s leading Free From trade exhibition is the best place to discover all the latest developments in Free From. Over the years producers, brand owners, researchers, food professionals, buyers, dieticians and bakers and many more have joined the Free From community looking to expand and grow.

Plant-Based

The gaining free-from and vegan movements have resulted in a significant upsurge in the plant-based food and drink markets across Europe. Consumers not only have a heightened awareness about their health and well-being, but also the negative impacts of meat consumption on the environment. In the European grocery retail market, the increase in plant-based product listings, such as dairy alternatives, demonstrates the diversification of the market, and the opportunity for brands to appeal to a growing segment of flexitarian consumers, who are striving to introduce more plant-based foods into their diets.

Despite the buzz generated by vegan diets, many consumers are finding the balance by consuming more plant-based foods, and rather than eliminating animal ingredients, reducing them significantly. This has driven new product innovation, with a range of plant-based food trends capturing consumer attention, from fish-free alternatives to vegan cheese, egg substitutes and more.

So how can buyers from Europe’s top retailers, food service, health and organic distribution channels find the next plant-based trend? The 8th annual edition of Europe’s leading free from trade exhibition is the best place to discover all the latest product developments in the plant-based sector.

Over the years hundreds of ingredient formulations and more have joined the FFF&HI community and there is no better place to take advantage of the sourcing, networking and learning opportunities freely available for all attendees. From vegan snacks, dairy-free cheese, meatless steaks and fish-free tuna, discovering the most sought-after plant-based products couldn’t be easier at the Free From Functional and Health Ingredients Expo, where attendees can also gain insights from industry professionals. It is a one-stop shop to discover the latest plant-based trends, market analysis, best practice and more.

Natural and Organic

After decades of industrialization, organic and natural products and processes are back and trendy in the food industry. With the conscious mindset of the consumer, demand for food safety and awareness of the health and environmental benefits of natural products, organic and natural is adopted in the consumers’ diets on a large scale.

Free From chemicals, Free From GMO, Fair Trade, Free From pesticides, sustainable and 100% natural ingredients make a significant part of the expo and is the best place to discover all the latest developments in organic and natural products, farming and processing. Joining alongside the exhibitors are some of the world’s leading certifiers of organic trademarks.

Over the years producers, brand owners, researchers, food professionals, buyers, dieticians and bakers and more have joined the Free From community, including many organic and natural businesses.

Vegan

Vegan is the one of the fastest growing Free From categories. This due to increasing consumer interest and demand, new and more product innovations and solutions. With an increase in sales of nearly 500% of vegan and vegetarian products, the popularity seems to be more than a trend. The vegan revolution is well on its way to establish itself as part of all diet and becoming more and more mainstream and accessible.

At the Free From Expo about 40% of the exhibitors are focused on vegan as food producers or traders and more than 70% of visitors mention that vegan is one of the main categories of interest for visiting the expo. With vegan being such an important part of the expo, this year’s edition is the best place to discover all the latest development and insights.

Over the years producers, brand owners, researchers, food professionals, buyers, bakers with focus on vegan and vegetarian and more have joined the Free From community.

Functional Food

Food products with added performance- and health benefits. In a world constantly wanting to prolong the quality life and pursuing healthy living, functional food has been a growing trend for the last years. With additional protein for athletes, vitamins for health benefits or collagen for beauty features, functional products offer a personalized diet for every person’s needs. No surprise that this trend has been growing rapidly. Although not technically free from, the addition of specific nutrition makes functional food a segment very fitting with the Free From market. By adding new ingredients and nutriets or adding more of an existing ingredient or nutrient, Functional Food provides health benefits beyond it's basic nutritional value, typically health promoting, illness managing or disease preventing.

The 9th annual edition will give a platform to vitamins, nutritional and food supplements, sport-, nutrition-, protein-, dietary supplements and much more. This edition will be a great place for dieticians, health stores, bio- and mainstream retailers looking to match this trend.

Ingredients

Offering a wide variety of solutions needed to support the food industry in keeping up with the current trends. The Ingredients segment of the expo offers the opportunity for brand owners, producers and food technologists looking to expand with new free-from products or new in-trend products on the market.
