Leading companies in this market are prioritizing the development of advanced, clean-label products that enhance nutritional value while improving ingredient transparency. Clean-label formulations emphasize simple, recognizable ingredients, avoiding artificial flavorings, concentrates, and industrial additives. For example, in April 2025, Singapore-based clean-snacks brand Hey! Chips introduced Hey! Fruit Bites-a fully freeze-dried snack blending 60% in-house fermented yoghurt with 40% real fruit slices. This innovation significantly reduces the need for added sugars and thickeners by using a natural freeze-drying process at -30oC, which retains up to 97% of nutrients. The product also incorporates probiotics and superfood benefits without artificial additives, offering a pure and health-conscious snacking option.
