How labelling impacts consumer perceptions of plant-based food

(1 min read)

How does the labelling of plant-based products affect consumer perceptions? Which terms for describing plant-based products are preferred by consumers?

In July 2022, ProVeg conducted a survey in which 1,000 UK-based respondents described and rated their views on the following labels: ‘animal-free’, ‘meatless’, ‘meat-free’, ‘100% plant-based’, ‘plant-based’, ‘veggie’, ‘vegan’, ‘vegetarian’. Discover the key findings by downloading the full report.

When you look at the plant-based shelf in supermarkets you tend to see a plethora of descriptions from plant-based to meat-free to vegan. With more and more consumers choosing plant-based options it’s important for brands and retailers alike to understand which terminology resonates most with their customers to inform their future labelling decisions.”
