One of the major technological changes in food products over thelast decade has been the development of lite food anddrinks. These products have become regular items of purchase andacceptance in UK diet. The principal areas of growth in thelite market have been in sugarfree drinks and low fatfoods. Whilst market growth has been stimulated by increased consumerawareness of diet and nutrition, consumers are being influenced by theimage message associated with such products rather than a strict healthmessage. Harmonisation of European food law after 1992, especially inrespect of sweeteners, offers potential opportunities for further growthin lite markets. Fat replacers are likely to provide anarea of future interest as long as concerns about the mass marketing ofsynthetic foods do not dampen the market.
