The typical American eats over one thousand snack-oriented convenience foods throughout the year.
May 14/Chicago/PRWEB -- The typical American eats over 1,000 snack-oriented convenience foods throughout the year, and kids and teens are the heaviest users of this assortment of snacks, which include fresh fruit, sweet, and savory snacks, reports The NPD Group, a leading global information company. Women eat, on average, 3.1 snack-oriented convenience foods a day, compared to the 2.7 snacks men eat a day, according to NPD’s snacking research.
About eight of every 10 in-home snack food eatings are considered to be a snack-oriented convenience food versus other foods, regardless of time of day, finds NPD’s SnackTrack, which continually monitors the consumption of snack-oriented foods both in-home and away. During a typical year, there are over 356 billion eatings of snack-oriented convenience foods.
