- Givaudan links changing eating habits to protein-rich, nutrient-dense products in smaller portions.
- New reporting highlights gut health, fiber and combined-benefit products as additional demand areas.
- Taste remains central to repeat purchases as manufacturers develop products for changing consumer routines.
Givaudan is broadening the commercial discussion around GLP-1 medicines from portion size and protein to gut health, fiber and products that combine several benefits. A November 10 report by NutraIngredients adds new detail to the consumer trend picture presented by Givaudan.
Health benefits reshape product demand
The report says seven in ten GLP-1 users are actively trying to improve their gut health, while most are adding more fiber. The findings come from Food Innovation Solutions' three-wave Appetite Shift study, sponsored in part by Givaudan and based on 1,200 UK adults surveyed between August 2025 and March 2026.
Givaudan global product manager Catherine Bayard told NutraIngredients that protein has become a nutritional priority because users are eating less overall and want greater nutritional value from each portion. The report identifies high-protein yogurts, savory snacks and ready-to-drink beverages as possible formats, provided they deliver strong taste.
Taste remains the conversion test
The commercial opportunity extends beyond GLP-1 users, as non-users are adopting similar habits through household and social influence. At the same time, added protein, fiber and functional ingredients can create chalky, heavy or otherwise unwanted sensory effects.
That makes formulation and sensory performance central to repeat demand. The article also describes skepticism toward broad "GLP-1 friendly" labels, favoring clear nutrition information and products that address identifiable consumer needs.
