Lithuania shoppers switching to healthy foods

Almost a third of Lithuanian shoppers do not buy prepared foods (35%) or snacks (33%), well ahead of international averages that show globally only 16% of shoppers avoid prepared foods, and 9% avoid snack.

New research by Nielsen survey carried out at the end of 2015 found that: “Food buying habits in Lithuania show clear wellness trends. Judging by the expressed opinions, buyers tend to avoid carbonated drinks, alcohol, and try to reduce the consumption of sweets.

“Overall, Lithuanian buyers are very interested in information on food, beverages, and health, and are exceptionally careful in reading product labels and analysing food ingredients,” said Nielsen director general for the Baltic countries Ilona Lepp.
