Bars
At Mother Murphy’s, we know what
consumers want, and can help provide the bar flavors they crave.The global snack bar industry has grown to more than $13 billion in annual sales, and is expected to increase by 4 percent annually. Consumers are looking to bars to help them lose weight, serve as meal replacements, deliver supplemental nutrients, and provide boosts of energy whenever needed.
The people who buy bars read labels carefully, searching for protein and sugar content, additives and GMO ingredients. They want labels with ingredients they recognize and that aren’t over-processed. They want the sweeteners used in their bar flavors to be from natural sources, or fruit and fruit extracts.
