As consumers increasingly move online to buy groceries, fresh food products still represent a unique challenge for grocery retailers. According to a survey by Mintel, just one in ten Americans reports having bought fresh produce, meat, poultry, and fish through e-commerce with a majority of respondents pointing to a lack of trust in freshness, food safety concerns, and an inability to see, touch, and sample the product. Historically, the lack of label information and data on these products has been a challenge for retailers. By leveraging the USDA’s Nutritional Database for Standard Reference (SR), we are excited to announce that Label Insight is now able to deliver nutrient and serving size information for any product with a standard Price Look-Up or PLU code. This new offering also enables retailers to expand attribution across these products, highlighting key standard and custom attributes such as “Organic”, “In-Season”, and “Dietitian’s Pick”.

Label Insight News | this month in
As we work our way into the final quarter of 2019 we are excited to look back at some of the progress we made and to celebrate some of the content we launched to support the community. This post covers some of the highlights. Groceryshop: Label Insight was thrilled to sponsor the first-annual Groceryshop conference in Las Vegas, which was hosted by the same folks as Shoptalk. We mingled with CPG (consumer packaged goods), retail, and technology's biggest players, including Kraft Heinz, Coca-Cola, Albertsons, Publix, and Google. You can get a more in-depth post about our learnings here, or peek at our social media accounts (@labelinsight on Twitter and Instagram) for real-time updates from last week. CatMan + Transparency White Paper: Early in the month we launched our CatMan + Transparency white paper to an amazing reception. It was launched right on the heals of the FMI & Label Insight Transparency Imperative 2018 report and so we weren't sure we'd get as much traction. But it has been by far the most successfully received whitepaper we have produced to date.
