Whole Grains Popular with Consumers Looking to Cut Carbs
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Additional Concerns
Celiac.com 09/16/2023 - The 2023 Whole Grain Consumer Insights Survey conducted by the Oldways Whole Grains Council revealed that 16% of respondents were avoiding carbohydrates, a slight decrease from 18% in the 2021 survey. Among younger consumers, specifically Gen Z and millennials, 10% were avoiding carbohydrates. Of those avoiding carbs, more than one-third preferred whole grains when available, compared to just over one-quarter of all respondents. Additionally, nearly one-third of carb-avoiders reported increasing their whole grain intake over the past five years, in contrast to 21% of all respondents. Americans Eating More Whole Grains The survey, which included 1,500 Americans aged 18 to 89, found that nearly 40% of all participants had started consuming more whole grains in the last five years, with 61% choosing whole grains at least half the time. Notably, nearly 75% of low-carb dieters favored whole grains regularly. Nearly three in four respondents believed they should consume more whole grains for health reasons, with taste reasons ranking second at about 40%. Regarding favorite whole grain foods, 34% selected bread, followed by oatmeal at 24% and popcorn at 19%. Breakfast was the most popular meal for whole grain consumption, with nearly half of respondents eating breakfast, followed by dinner (30%), lunch (28%), and snacks (22%). Respondents displayed trust in the Whole Grain Stamp found on products, with 85% expressing trust in it, and 83% stating they would be more likely to purchase a product bearing the stamp, an increase from 78% in 2021. When asked about strategies to encourage greater whole grain consumption, nearly 60% said reducing costs, while nearly as many said increasing variety and availability at supermarkets, and providing more education about whole grain benefits. Inflation Impacts Buying Choices Inflation played a role in consumers' decisions, with over half citing the price of products as a major factor, up from 47% in 2021. Cost was a significant barrier to whole grain consumption for more than a third of Gen Z consumers, nearly 30% of millennials, just under 30% of Gen X, almost 20% of baby boomers, and nearly 15% of the Silent Generation. The survey also explored awareness of gluten, ancient grains, and sustainability. Less than 10% of respondents could correctly define gluten as a protein in wheat, barley, and rye, which helps bread dough stretch and rise. Among those who correctly defined gluten, 71% chose whole grains regularly. In 2023, nearly 70% of respondents reported not avoiding gluten, compared to two-thirds in 2021, with only 5% always avoiding gluten, down from 8% in 2021. Around 1% of respondents in 2023 cited a medical diagnosis as the reason for entirely avoiding gluten. Quinoa was the most recognized ancient grain, at 70%, followed by buckwheat, at 60%. Compared to 2021, nearly two-in-five had heard of millet, while more had heard of amaranth, and teff. Meanwhile, fewer than 10% of respondents in 2023 were familiar with kamut, freekeh, triticale, and fonio. Interestingly, one-in-four millennials indicated choosing whole grains for sustainability benefits, compared to just 14% among Gen Z, Gen X, baby boomers, and the Silent Generation.

Celiac.com 10/18/2016 - Whole grains, including gluten-free grains, have never been more popular, but as their fortunes grow as a whole, that of wheat is diminishing. The whole grains category includes both gluten-free grains, such as quinoa and other ancient grains, and gluten grains, such as barley, rye and triticale, but wheat products have never been less popular, and continue their downward sales slide. This year, 1,282 new products have registered for the Whole Grain Stamp so far, a pace set to meet or beat last year's record of 2,122 new products; up from 1,666 in 2014 and 1,622 in 2013, according to Cynthia Harriman, director of food and nutrition strategies at the Whole Grains Council. More than half of new products with the Whole Grain Stamp had a gluten-free first ingredient last year, an increase over 33% in 2007 to 2009, according to Harriman. However, even as scientists question the claimed benefits of gluten-free foods, such as weight loss, for people without celiac disease, many consumers are eating gluten-free foods "just for the variety," Harriman said. Either way, the market for gluten-free foods is set to approach $5 billion by 2021, up from $2.84 billion in 2014. Going forward, more of that market will go to gluten-free grains, lees to wheat. Flour used to be the main way consumers bought whole grains, but now consumers and manufacturers are embracing complete, minimally processed whole grains, which can improve product textures, flavors and health benefits. Sprouted grains are also receiving more attention and are expected to generate product sales of $250 million by 2018. Overall, 27% of consumers say they are eating more whole grains than they did six months ago, according to a recent survey. Read more at Fooddive.com.

Celiac.com 01/31/2006 – On Tuesday, January 10, 2006, federal authorities raided French Meadow Bakery in Minneapolis, MN, and seized more that 30,000 loaves of spelt and kamut bread and accused the company of mislabeling it as "wheat-free". According to U.S. Attorney Thomas Heffelfinger spelt and kamut share common proteins with wheat that can be just as dangerous to those who are allergic to wheat. French Meadow Bakery considers both grains to be safe alternatives to wheat, and claims that it has only received a single complaint of an allergic reaction during its 16 years in business. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration the bakery was given plenty of forewarning, as it was told last April that it needed to change its labels and not use "wheat-free" on any products that contain spelt or kamut—but the bakery failed to comply. Wheat is considered one of the top 10 allergens, and allergies to it can be life threatening—especially to allergic children. According to the new Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, foods that contain spelt or kamut cannot carry "wheat-free" or "wheat-alternative" labels. Heffelfinger believes that mislabeling it will create a serious health risk for a significant portion of the population. French Meadow Bakery has agreed to change its labels and has submitted the revised ones to the Food and Drug Administration for approval, however, on its Web site they have the following statements: "In the meantime the packaging changes have become a challenge for us and several other companies as to whether spelt is wheat or is not...We feel it is more important to look at the nutritional and digestive properties since it (spelt) is not a hybrid of what we call wheat today...We are not alone in this, after reviewing our fellow bakers Web sites, (Rudis Bakery and Food for Life) we learned that they too call Spelt a wheat alternative...Our intention has not and is not to risk the health of our valued customers...As an example of this, we state on our White Spelt and Cinnamon Raisin Spelt products a warning: CELIACS NOTE: SPELT CONTAINS GLUTEN." Celiac.com has also just learned that Purity Foods, a major spelt producer, has applied for an exemption from the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act and in it claim that spelt is not wheat, and that some people who are allergic to wheat can tolerate spelt. However, according to Donald D. Kasarda, Former Research Chemist for the United States Department of Agriculture: The scientific name for bread wheat is Triticum aestivum var. Aestivum—the first part of the name defines the genus (Triticum) and the second part, the species (aestivum). Species falling in the genus Triticum are almost certain to be harmful to celiac patients...Some Triticum species of current concern include Triticum aestivum var. spelta (common names include spelt or spelta), Triticum turgidum var. polonicum (common names include Polish wheat, and, recently, Kamut), and Triticum monococcum var. monococcum (common names include einkorn and small spelt). I recommend that celiac patients avoid grain from these species. Also, given their very close relationship to bread and durum wheats, I think it is unlikely that these grains would be safe for those with classical allergic responses to wheat. The companys bread will remain frozen until the case is settled, and Heffelfinger has indicated that none of the products already on food store shelves across the country will be recalled because the bread would likely exhaust its shelf life by the time a recall could be issued. Celiac.com, however, believes that this issue is settled—spelt and kamut are forms of wheat and those with celiac disease and/or wheat allergy should completely avoid them—there are just too many alternative grains out there to take such health risks. We can only hope that Purity Foods application for exemption will be met with strong, scientifically-supported opposition.
