Case 1.1 Fresh Impressions – Nutritional Labeling
Question 1: After reading through the problems Fresh Ideas is experiencing, it can be determined that Fresh Impressions has established a need for information. However, Stead has not put into words what the objectives are and what information is needed to meet these objectives. Stead should be asked questions such as: who is the competition for Fresh Impressions? Are competitors using nutritional labeling? What products are not selling well for Fresh Impressions? Do customers currently request nutritional information? Asking these questions could determine that the project objectives are: 1. Determine which Fresh Impressions products would increase sales with added nutritional labels, 2.

Determine what percentage of consumers have a positive response to readily available nutritional information, and 3. Determine manner Fresh Impressions should display and report to consumer’s new nutritional information. Alternatives to research including: introduce a new product, change Fresh Impressions packaging, introduce new advertising (commercials, print ads, radio).

In order to succeed, it is fundamental that businesses satisfy consumers’ needs (and desires) for goods and services. Appropriate market research provides the data necessary to understand those needs and respond to them effectively and profitably. Kudler Fine Foods (KFF) has performed market research in the past. Some of that research has been helpful; some has not. Additional market research is needed for KFF to reach a larger share of the market and increase profitability.

When reviewing the situation that Nutritional Foods Inc. has been placed in. There are many facts that are pointed out in the case report that can be important when making an effective solution for the company. Including Nutritional Foods being the most successful of several companies in seeking to appeal to the mainstream market as well as to the niched consumer.

The fight to know what’s in your food is not a new one. Consumers have fought long and hard for foods to have labels containing their simple ingredients. Finally in 1990 the Food and Drug administration established the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (fda.gov). However the fight to know what is in our food is far from over. Bioengineering has come a long way and has resulted in food that grows faster and with more consistent quality. This is at the expense of the consumer. With the change in the way that food is produced, there are no longer “simple ingredients.” More than 70% of the food in the grocery store and ⅔ of the crops grown in America contain biologically engineered ingredients (Caplan).
It is very common nowadays to walk into a restaurant and look at a menu and see a side note with the amount of calories that each plate holds. As well as walking into a grocery store, you will always notice a nutritional label on the food product. A nutritional label tends to always be located on the back, front or side of the food product. These nutritional labels are for educational
3. Sample Population: Who exactly was used in the study? How many? (Be as specific as possible.)
To me, nutrition fact labels are a way to judge nutrition, calorie count, and percent daily value of specific nutrients. I use these labels to see how many calories are in a specific food and to compare one similar product to another. When I look at these labels, I am looking for the amount of fat, carbs, calories, and calcium along with other vitamins per serving. I also look at how much is in a serving, how many servings are in a package, and how much sodium is in a product. The nutrition fact labels are also used when I cook. I judge what to put in my creations by how much nutrients and fat are in certain products as to not raise the calorie count too much. Nutrition fact labels are a great way to measure daily intake values and make sure
Marketing research is the process of systematic research of collecting, analyzing, and reporting marketing information that can be used to solve problems, so as to improve a company 's bottom line. Here I agree with Nathan that it helps the organisation to decide whether the product has a potential to survive in the market or not. This research will help Krispy Kreap to identify the need of their specific low-carb diet consumer. As in the video, Krispy Kreme specified that they can adjust their product to suit the specific needs of the consumer. It helps them to determined how market will respond to their product. For example, in under developed countries, as a whole people are not much educated about health realted issues as compared to
Labeling nutritional information on meals at restaurants is misdirected.When surveyors ask customers about their choices on meals the customer will most likely lie and order a healthier meal.Why,would a customer change his or her choice on a meal?,well because they want to look like they can make healthier choices on consuming calories.
There are good and bad foods sold in grocery stores. Foods that have nutrition labels are processed, packaged food and foods without nutrition labels are whole foods. We should be cautious when shopping for foods with nutrition labels because it is not healthy, high in fat and sugar, which could lead to obesity or health problems, and they are low in fiber. When searching for healthy foods, the first you want to check if there are zero trans fat molecules because they do not provide any health benefits to your body. You also want to check the amount of dietary fiber and grams of protein. You need at least three grams of dietary fiber for every 100 calories and 51 grams of protein, so you have a healthy digestive system. Calories from
IntroductionStakeholders according to the Project Management Institute is "An individual, group or organization who may affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by a decision, activity or outcome of the project."( Project Management Institute, 2013). The safe and accurate food labeling bill provide for federal standardization of ingredients and nutritional information on food labeling with the exception of genetic sourcing of the product. Creating a debate focused on the public's requirement and rights to know the process of food production. Industries on both sides of the issue have key participants that will prosper from the passage or rejection in Senate. Many stakeholders are directly involved and concerned with the development,
In order to spread the word about the healthier lifestyle, the North Carolina’s initiative with doctors and health officials can be used. 11.5% of the allocated $2 USD million are recommended to be spent on the initiative, accounting for $230,000 USD. With this money, 10 doctors and 90 health officials will be sponsored [See Appendix A], reaching approximately 180,500 citizens. Health Officials and Doctors are expected to impose an authority effect within the social status since as social creatures, customers take into account authority and value the opinion. Additionally, general health statements i.e. on the importance of fiber can be published on the company 's website written by the doctors. This way, there is no direct product marketing involved and only a support of why a healthy lifestyle is a good lifestyle.
This past week I have been made more aware of my food choices. Now this isn’t to say I ate the healthiest or ate nutritious foods. However, I was able to recognize what was healthy and what wasn’t. I believe looking at the food’s nutrition labels help greatly. This helped me to become more aware and understand the food’s I ate. I began to think a lot more about my food choices versus just throwing food in my mouth without thinking about the consequences. Of course, there were times when I did just throw food in my mouth. However, I noticed the time when this occurs is when I did not eat a breakfast, and I had just had a stressful morning, whether it was work or school. Lunch time is probably the worst time for eating. I am usually starving, stressed, tired and want something quick and easy. Hence, the reason I order out. I noticed the past couple weeks I have had a bad habit of doing so. Afternoons are always the hardest because around 2 pm I crash. I usually compensate this by drinking tea, or eating sugar. I know neither are good for me, and the sugar rush I get will only lead me to crash in 15 mins. However, in the moment, I think “Well, I’m already about to crash, so at least this sugar rush will give me more 15 minutes of productivity”. It’s horrible thinking I know. Right around late afternoon is when I feel I need caffeine or sugar to get me through.
