CONSUMER-FIRST FOOD DATA: Consumers are doing it for themselves

WHO WE ARE We re a team of designers, dietitians & data-focused technologists. We ve spent the past few years obsessed with how to make food and nutritional information more open, approachable and personalized for consumers.

Our entire approach is from a consumer-first perspective. What do consumers want to know? And how can we personalize it around key/actionable food/dietary questions?

Today s Consumer is Different Consumers are asking new and different questions about their food, and are more health and values-driven than ever before.

Today s Consumer is Different 66% of Americans now choose products based on personal health needs 80% of Americans stated that they would change their diet in some way in 2018 10X More consumer interest in foods with specific health benefits than in 2005 77% want to eat less added sugars

36% of American Adults Now Follow a Specific Diet!

44% of American Millennials Now Follow a Specific Diet!

There s a new long tail of consumer considerations and personas

Yet consumers largely still have the same experience as 10 years ago

The Big Question That Drives Us: How do we make life truly 10X better for this new type of consumer?

The Consumer Dream Platforms and stores of the future are contextual and adapt to you and your needs. Configure your profile (needs, preferences, etc.) and let smart data-aware platforms do the rest.

How Do We Do It?

We Help Simplify Information To What s Most Relevant To Each User.

Evaluation & Comparisons of Foods. Can I eat this? Is this the best option for me?

Blue = Excellent Blue is the best of the best! These foods are excellent for a given food profile.

Green = Good If you see green, that means it s a good fit for your profile

Yellow = Moderation If you see yellow, that means it s a food to eat in moderation.

Red = Warn If you see red, that means the food is not a great fit for your profile.

Tracking & Insights How am I doing? Where am I going right? What s been problematic?

Search What can I eat? What are good potential substitutes if something isn t quite right?

We Also Surface Top Consumer Interests in an Objective Way
