Emerging Trends Focused on Clean Label Ingredients
A notable trend in the functional food ingredients market is the growing emphasis on clean label products.

This shift reflects a broader demand for transparency and naturalness in food products, aligning with modern nutritional preferences and lifestyle choices.
