How to provide for the health and wellness needs of customers in grocery retail

This PSFK guide is a shopper education & assistance report on health and wellness in grocery retail. It contains recommendations for creating end-to-end consumer relationships and driving greater affinity through enhanced product selections, transparency, accessibility and on-demand wellness services.

Executive Summary

While growing awareness of the connection between well-being and food choices has shifted consumer interest towards more nutritional grocery options, a lack of both accessibility and transparency across food labeling and marketing can create a frustrating shopping experience for consumers as they look to source fresh produce and verify ingredients. To optimize their food choices, access ingredient information on demand and receive in-the-moment support, consumers are turning to farmer’s markets, meal kit services, local suppliers and boutique health coaching services in place of their area grocery retailers and brands.
