Four mega-trends subject at Internorga in Hamburg.

What do customers want from the food industry? Something between the contending ideas of more health and more indulgence.

That will be the focus of Internorga, 82nd International Fair for the Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Bakery and Confectionery Trades in Hamburg, Germany, March 7-12, 2008. There are four mega-trends which run through the out-of-home food sector--snacking, high convenience, indulgence, and healthy eating.

There is a close relationship between more snacking, and the decline of the traditional three meals a day pattern. The movement towards consumption of smaller portions throughout the day is increasing the demand for small, varied products for eating outside of formal meals.
