What Is Clean Label?

Labeling in the food and beverage industry is highly regulated, especially in the developed countries with high consumer awareness. Labels on packaged food contain extensive information on the ingredients of the food product. Labels enable the consumers to select a food product based on their needs, and there has been a rising call for a shift towards more transparent labels. While addressing these consumer needs, the food companies could also differentiate their products from others while giving consumers the choice to pick products that meet their expectations. This paper describes the recent developments in consumers’ expectations which have resulted in what could be termed as the Clean Label Movement. This has resulted in the need for transparent labels, which clearly identify the contents, thus enabling the consumer to exercise an option regarding the purchase of the food item.

The clean label movement began in the UK when food safety was a major concern due to the increased number of scandals. This created a need for traceability of the food ingredients through which the customers’ trust could be won. However, over the years the definition of clean label has changed due to consumers’ increased concerns regarding health, nutrition and well-being. The food loving Gen X’s increasing desire to know the nature of ingredients present in the food items has immensely contributed to the clean label movement. The clean label movement is currently growing across the globe and it is expected to spread across various industries too.

Clean labels are voluntary in nature and therefore self-disclosures have been initiated by food and beverage companies. It is expected that the disclosures are accurate and simply worded. A good clean label demands truthfulness in claims thereby not misleading the consumers. Claims such as “no added sugar” may be misleading if other ingredients are used for sweetening of the product. The use of terms “healthy” for food products is misleading when the sugar content is higher than what could be termed as healthy. The incentive for such disclosures is consumer trust, which is an intangible asset and helps increase loyalty towards brands.

Characteristics Of Clean Label

Companies adhering to clean label principles, revise their formulations in such a way that helps them make front of the pack claims aligned with consumer needs. Some key characteristics of clean labels that will help companies reach out to consumers are listed below:

The labels must be clear and easy to read, with no long, crowded, technical names that are confusing.
Some important clean label indicators are:
- No artificial ingredients,
- No additives, and
- No preservatives
Some independent claims that have overlapped into clean label claims are:
- Natural
- Organic
- Free-from
- Local, and
- Sustainable

Consumers have increasingly started relating these claims with cleaner labels, thus making the definition of clean label broader.

Comparison Among Clean Label, Natural, Organic and Free-From Products

Clean label and Natural

Not all clean label products can contain the claim “natural” food product. For example, “Natural colors” such as carotenoids, beet anthocyanins, and chlorophyll are not permitted in “natural” food products, even though they are acceptable in clean label products.
Natural anti-microbial or preservatives such as cultured vegetable juice, cherry powder and vinegar are not allowed in products that claim “natural” food products. However, such preservatives are allowed in clean label products.

Clean label and Organic USDA’s National Organic Program has permitted the use of compounds such as xanthum gum, and calcium hydroxide in organic products; however, such products cannot be considered as clean label products.

Clean label and Free-fromFree- from foods may not contain ingredients such as wheat, dairy products, gluten etc. and are therefore considered safe for people with allergies. The free-from claims primarily mean free-from allergens. However, this does not classify all free-from products as clean label automatically, thus making free-from another class of products such as organic and natural products.

Technical concerns that do not meet the clean label criteria

Vitamins and minerals used for enrichment and fortification of food do not usually meet clean label requirements.
Clean label products that have not been processed may lose their absorption or digestion properties.
To make a product clean label, such as removal of sugar, processing is sometimes necessary.
Addition of natural ingredients into products usually affects the shelf-life of products.
Texture and taste may also be affected due to removal of artificial ingredients or changing the processing conditions.

The Clean Label Alliance

As a response to various technical issues that companies face during their transition to clean label products, the Clean Label Alliance was formed. The Clean Label Alliance was officially launched by Ribus in late 2018. Ribus, also known as the “Original clean label company” launched the alliance in response to the increasing demand for clean labels for dietary supplements. The alliance is currently composed of 5 members which is likely to grow in the near future. Global leaders in the dietary supplement industry got together to provide support and solutions to companies for smoother transition and efficient production of clean label supplements.

A company can approach the clean label alliance for its services by filling a request form in the clean label alliance website. The issue that the company faces may be, for example, regarding the production difficulties it is facing. The Alliance will then provide suggestions for implementation, and the problem-solution process can be repeated until the problem is solved.

The current members of the Clean Label Alliance are:

An example of FFP’s commitment to developing clean label products is the use of lactic acid fermentation process to lower the content of sugar in beet juice by ~10-20%.

Clean Label Conferences

Clean Label being a very recent concept, there have been conferences around this topic. A conference on Clean Label held in March 2019, witnessed sessions on ways in which product development teams could strive for simplified ingredient labels through formulations. Presentations were made on new clean ingredients that could help formulation of safe, convenient, sensory pleasing food and beverages.

Adoption of Clean Label in Various Industries

The problems faced by companies that want to launch a clean label are many and they vary from industry to industry.

Beverage Industry

Problems: The most important challenges that the clean label beverage industry faces is color fading, neck ringing and shade shifting of natural colors. Since the color of the drink or juice is an important marketing tool, they are sold in transparent or semitransparent bottles thus making it susceptible to photodegradation. Natural flavors are usually needed in higher concentration, to achieve the required flavor, thus increasing the concentration of reactive carriers, and solvents. Also, some flavors are oils that do not blend well with natural colors.

Solutions: In the beverages industry, innovation has seen a reduction in the use of sweeteners. Also used is lemon juice in place of synthetic acidity regulators. Aseptic filling and pasteurization are some technical alternatives to replacing preservatives. Combination of tropical fruits with commodity fruits has given rise to an increased value to fruit juices with more health benefits. A number of beverage companies are currently working on replacing synthetic texturizers, emulsifiers and colors with whole fruit extracts, without compromising the shelf life of the drink.

Companies: One such company is Gat Drinks, which produces and markets solution ingredients for the fruit and beverage industry.

Another important beverage that has been affected by the clean label movement is the Tea industry. Loft Tea is an example of a tea company that has embraced the idea of clean tea, with its innovative stevia based tea drinks.

Baked Goods Industry

Problems: Ingredients such as propylene glycol monoesters, synthetic caramel colors, artificial flavors, sodium acid pyrophosphates and flour bleaching agents such as benzoyl peroxide and various preservatives have been the subject of controversy among consumers. Also, native starches require chemicals to improve tolerance towards processing conditions.

Solutions: An alternative used to clean up the ingredients in bakery products is the use of natural mold inhibitors such as cinnamon or cloves. Enzymes can be used to disintegrate cooked gelatinized starch that realign themselves after a period of time. Some other commonly known solutions in the bakery industry include use of hydrocolloid gums to enhance the properties of natural starches.

(Source)

Companies: Companies such as Key Blends and Corbion have developed various clean label solutions. Corbion’s “pristine family” of branded bases mixes and functional ingredients have provided solutions to remove unfriendly conditioners and oxidation systems. Corbion has also developed “Verdad family” of products for inhibiting mold while eliminating calcium propionate, and the “Purac family” for reducing the pH and increase the functionality of the mold inhibitors. Key Blends has a portfolio of clean label products such as the sweet dough concentrate, clean label Danish concentrate and clean label cream cakes among other clean label products.

Snacks and Bars Industry

Problems: A common problem faced by the clean label snack industry is the thin line that separates a clean label product from an allergen-free product. There is an increased usage of almonds, fruits and other healthy ingredients in the formulation of snacks.

Solutions: Tasty and healthy snacks are the preferred choice of the health-conscious population which provides a huge opportunity for the clean label snack industry. Honey is the best clean label alternative to artificial sweeteners, and is considered to be the top ingredient for most product development. They consist of vitamins, minerals and other healthy nutrients. Another important aspect in the snack industry is the focus on minimal processing.

The industries are thus trying to meet both the nutritional standards that traditional snacking industry lacks while maintaining the flavors of the product.

Companies: Some important clean label bar companies are Clif Bar & Company, GoMacro LLC, and Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods. Companies such as Kemin have developed clean label ingredients such as the Fortium RVC, a rosemary and ascorbic acid blend that extends the shelf life of snack products. Kettle chips such as the Herr’s kettle chips has caught the attention of consumers because the ingredients in the chips are simpler, thereby asserting the point that clean label is not about just health but also simpler labels.

Confectionery Industry

Problems: Some global challenges faced by the confectionery industry are the reduction of the amount of fat and calories in natural alternatives and the high cost of refrigeration of natural ingredients. Certain appeal of products such as candies come from its vast range of colors; in such conditions the use of natural colors become the obvious key clean label indicator. However, providing such range of colors is not easy and requires large budgets from companies for innovation.

Solutions: The new clean label chocolate developers are, for example, incorporating healthy natural ingredients such as fruits, pretzels, chia seeds, nuts, pumpkin, coconut, etc. Addition of fruits not only makes the confectioneries healthy but also provides natural flavoring. The National Confectioners Association has claimed that the upcoming trend in confectionaries is the combination of chocolates with fruits. A potential substitute for the regular sugar is stevia extract from the leaves of a plant native to Brazil and Paraguay.

Companies: Nestle, Mars, and Hershey have moved towards freeing up their products of artificial ingredients. Grande Bravo, a customized ingredients company, incorporates whey protein as an innovative way to tackle the problem of reducing calories and fats while keeping the alternative natural.

Meat & Poultry

Problems: Unlike the food and beverage industries, the meat and poultry industry is supposed to maintain a higher vigilance to qualify as clean label. The major problem in the meat industry is the use of preservatives. The most common clean label claims are gluten free and reduced sodium. Better shelf life, minimal processing, and sustainable supply-chain are also important clean label indicators in the meat and poultry industry. Consumers prefer products which are free of chemical sounding ingredients.

Solution: Color is the indicator of freshness of meat to a consumer. The technology that is generally used to retain the color of red meat is the case ready packaging using modified atmosphere packaging. Kalsec, claims that on using natural antioxidants the shelf life of the meat in case ready packaging increases. Thus natural antioxidants are used to increase flavor stability and increase in retention of color of meat.

Companies: Kemin, a food technologies provider has come up with an innovative solution to delay the onset of lipid oxidation thus retaining fresh aroma and flavor of the meat products.

Clean Label Spillover

Pet food industry

The clean label movement has not only caught on the human food and beverage industry but also the pet food industry, wherein pet owners have started demanding that the quality of pet food must be of the same standard as that of human food products. The Clean label project conducted a survey on clean label parameters of pet food products and the ranking was based on a number of parameters such as toxins, pesticides, quality and antibiotics in the ingredients.

Some examples of pet food companies that have embraced the clean label movement are shown below:

Videka

Videka is a US based pet food company that claims clean and natural pet food products without any synthetic ingredients by making the best use of a strategic alliance with two companies, the specialty pet food ingredients company Diana Pet Food and oxidation management expertise in human food, Kalsec.

Petco

Petco is a pet food company that has decided to oust artificial ingredients due to the increased consumer demand. Petco has decided to execute this by launching new products with new standards. Those existing products that have not met the new standards will be removed from shelves and donated to animal shelters.

Trade Marks Filed

Currently, a number of non-governmental organizations, food and beverage companies, and consultancies have started using their own clean label logos to help customers know the standards that these companies are following. A simple trademark search was therefore conducted using the term “clean label,” in USPTO and OHIM. There were 13 live relevant trademarks filed in the U.S., while 10 were filed in Europe. Some of these trademarks are shown below:

Enforcement and Legal Issues

Some private organizations and non-governmental organizations provide clean label certifications and have their own clean label certification logos. These certification marks, show standardized procedure for assessing clean label claims keeping the product developer on toes regarding the product label. Some examples of certification marks that are already in use in the industry are shown below:

(Source)

Go Clean label: This is a digital resource that helps consumers and food professionals identify what clean ingredients are within various industries. Go clean label claims it is the first clean label information nexus. It is also a clean label certification agency. It was launched in July 2016 with its headquarters in Chicago Fulton Market.

The certification happens in 4 steps

Fill the form
Sign the license agreement
Official evaluation by Go clean label
Use the trademark

Clean label Project: Clean label project is a nonprofit entity focused on health and transparency in consumer product labeling. Its mission is to educate consumers so that they can make informed choices every time they shop. This is accomplished by using scientific data to identify toxins in consumer products and by sharing this information with the consumer.

The clean label project certification program provides consumer assurance of ingredient purity. There are 3 basic steps to get certification from the Clean Label project:

Proof of food safety certification such as HACCP, GFSI, etc.
Supplier assurance program
The Compliance results will be announced after an unannounced sampling and laboratory testing by clean label project specialists

The certified products are displayed along with ratings in the website of clean label project.

Certified C.L.E.A.N: C.L.E.A.N stands for Conscious, live, ethical, active and nourishing. The certification integrates many aspects of production starting from manufacturing to delivery. It helps follow and embrace other certifications such as GMP, HACCP, FSMA, HARPC, USDA Organic, and Non- GMO and is applicable in multiple industries such as packaged food products and supplements, snack bars, health drinks, fermented beverages, ready-to-eat foods, juices, oils, functional foods and nutritional supplements. To get certified one needs to fill a form and experts from Certified C.L.E.A.N helps the company regarding the rest of the process.

Regulatory authorities throughout the world such as the Food and Drug Administration, and the European Food Safety Authority have shied away from clearly defining clean label or clean label terms such as “all natural” or “pure” or “organic”. The term organic being the best defined among the three, “organic certifications” undergo strict government regulatory procedures in many countries. However, the use of ambiguous terms in labels that fit the clean label movement needs to be approached with caution. From a legal standpoint it is all about the precedence, such as if there are any lawsuits defying the claims or if preceding FTC enforcements have brought any clarity. The FDA clearly states that a product cannot be termed as natural if it has preservatives in it. Some other terms companies should be wary of when claiming are “raw,” “handmade,” “wholesome” and “nutritious.”

An emerging trend in this area is a number of class action lawsuits that have been filed on claims made on labels. A few law firms have capitalized on this opportunity. A report by Perkins Coie shows that there is a substantial increase in the number of false claims lawsuit and this number is expected to further increase with the growing momentum of the clean label trend. The whole contention is that the consumer should not be misled to believe that the characteristics of the label is something that it is not.

Conclusion

Clean label movement is rapidly spreading across the globe. Today’s Gen-Z are also demanding that the food companies become transparent about their claims. As more consumers are reading the front of the pack claims, the clean label movement is spilling over from food and beverage industries to industries such as the pet food industry, cosmetic industry and even pharmaceutical industry. Companies like the start-up Genexa in the pharma space want to remove unnecessary and potentially harmful chemicals out of OTC medicines. The increased number of class action law suits regarding claims has put companies innovating and transitioning to clean label at risk, if they fail to clearly explain to the consumer, the ingredients that the claim encompasses.
