There are 273 million #food posts on Instagram – and the number is growing. Every single day people are sharing new photos and videos about nutrition and diet.<\/p>\n

Social media was once a phenomenon, then a hobby – now it’s a sign of the times. It’s also a challenge and an opportunity for the food and beverage industry to truly innovate\u2026 while the world watches. Food and beverage manufacturers have to design their products in ways that satisfy customer demands for accurate, transparent information – and without access to a product information management (PIM) system, it is virtually impossible.<\/p>\n

An informed consumer is the primary industry driver<\/h2>\n

Recent studies clearly demonstrate that food choices reflect the trend tsunami toward healthy lifestyles. Making healthy choices, from purchase-to-preparation-to-consumption, has transformed from necessity-to-fad-to-an-ingrained lifestyle philosophy.<\/p>\n

Consumers love to buy groceries, plan menus and share unique creations using farm-to-fork ingredients with the world – on social media channels like Instagram, Pinterest and Snapchat.<\/p>\n

With rating and review sites like Yelp and Google reviews, information and opinions about brands and products spread like wildfire – for better or worse.<\/p>\n
