Key success factors for a winning clean label pet food strategy — Champion presents key success factors for a winning clean label pet food strategy. Clean label is becoming a major catchphrase to satisfy the numerous and various expectations of mindful consumers, without any legal definition. The presentation provides an overview of the possible paths manufacturers can take to join the clean label movement, covering natural claims and many more. It shows a large spectrum of pet food brands’ initiatives that address pet owner values and concerns such as transparency, safety and healthiness. The analysis highlights some of the challenges to balance “clean” hopes with other purchase triggers, facing the risk of asking trade-offs to consumer.
