Abstract:
Snack foods are on the most widely manufactured, and most widely bought food products in all of food industry. The usual image of snacks is that of an unhealthy product but if we look deeper into the market and study the demographics, it shows that snacks are available in uncountable forms of shape, color and taste. Moving beyond that, now snacks are produced with nutritional claims that make them a healthy choice for the people looking for better, medically prescribed, or go-to snacks. The methodology of the research has been studying previously present researches and finding authentic and genuine data to go with and by studying various researches and papers to find the difference between the branded and local snack foods. There are uncountable options in both the divisions now. Same nutrition claiming snack will be available in branded and local streams. By conducting the research that is supported and authenticated by senior panelists we have found that the guidelines made for nutritional labels and claims is better followed by the branded snacks in comparison to local snacks. That is proven via many methodologies like branding, customer value and personal research. This study can help the government and related departments to make proper laws and order for the small scale and large scale food business working in snacks to have a uniform produce that can be valuable to the buyers. It will in return support everything else that has been studied. Governmental support in bringing about changes like this is important.
