Tate & Lyle is leading the industry in understanding consumers’ views on fibre and the role it plays in their diet. We surveyed 8800 consumers around the globe, to understand what they think and what they want when it comes to fibre. Most individual consumers fall considerably short of the various country guidelines for fibre consumption, which range between 25 and 40 grams per day. According to consumers, their low consumption frequency is largely due to a lack of access to products with fibre.
