On a health kick, FMCG companies chase sugar-free rush

TIL Creatives Representative Image Bengaluru | Kolkata: When over half of colas sold in India have gone low or completely sugar-free (as per PepsiCo's lead bottler Varun Beverages), can packaged food be left behind? While low-sugar or sugar-free food products may not be dominating sales yet, companies such as Britannia Industries, Nestle, Tata Consumer Products and Marico have driven a marked reduction in the level of sugar, sodium and fat in their products. There is also an increase in wholegrains and millets, vitamins and micronutrients in the products of these companies, including ITC and AWL Agri Business, as per disclosures in their annual, business and sustainability reports for fiscal 2025. Biscuits major Britannia said between 2018-19 and 2024-25, it has increased the wholegrain content in its products by more than three-and-a-half times and reduced the sugar and sodium levels by 3.4% and 11.9%. Nestle India has cut sugar by 6%, salt by 10% and total fat by 2.5% across categories. The company, which faced backlash over the sugar content in Cerelac, last year launched new variants of the baby food with no refined sugar. 'While taste has historically trumped health, consumers now want both nourishment and delight,' said Shashwat Goenka, vice-chairman at the RPSanjiv Goenka Group, which owns food retail chains Nature's Basket and Spencer's Retail. 'This isn't just another trend but a movement across all food categories. From snacks to desserts, people want options that fit their wellness goals, but still satisfy cravings,' he said in a social media post last week. Tata Consumer Products said it has reduced added sugar in one of its ready-to-drink variants by 30%. It has reduced another by 20% since FY24 and plans to make further reductions. These steps have already helped it reduce the use of sugar by 2,900 tonnes in the last two years, the company FY25, health and wellness-focused new products made up 29% of its total offerings. Marico said it has reduced the amount of sodium by 20% in key products such as oats and millets under its Saffola brand. It is fortifying the entire range of edible oils portfolio with fat soluble vitamins, as is competitor AWL Agri Business. Marico is also using oats, soya, millets, nuts and seeds, and honey in products to address noncommunicable diseases, cardiovascular diseases and conditions influencing immunity. To be sure, large food companies are signatory to sector regulator Food Safety and Standards Authority of India's 'Eat Right Movement' launched in 2018 to fight lifestyle diseases and improve public health. Also, overall awareness and criticisms on social media about unhealthy packaged food have accelerated this trend, industry executives said. ITC said while it is reducing salt, sugar and fat without compromising on sensory attributes (such as taste), it also wants to increase the level of nutrients like vitamins, minerals and fibre that are beneficial for health. ZERO-SPIRIT WHISKEY, LESS-UNHEALTHY SNACKS This trend is also finding favour in the alcohol beverage space. According to India's largest beer manufacturer, United Breweries, its latest launch, Amstel Grande, has no added sugar. The market for no-alcohol-low calorie whiskey and beers too is picking up in metros, driven by Gen Z. Rohit Pillai, director, product and growth at beer brand Bira91, said there is a strong potential in the low-calorie segment within the alcobev space which is still nascent. Zero-alcohol beverage maker Sober Zero Proof Spirits founder Aditya Aggarwal said the largest sales contributor is zero-spirit whiskey. Meanwhile, snacks manufacturer Bikaji Foods chief operating officer Manoj Verma candidly told analysts last week that there's nothing called healthy food. 'You may say healthy snacks. You may say less unhealthy. That's a better way to put that up,' he said. Verma said while companies including his are taking steps to be future ready, this market is still very niche.

Starbucks India to accelerate store expansion after ‘tempered' growth over previous 2 quarters'

New Delhi: Tata Consumer Products Ltd, the operator of Starbucks in India, will accelerate the expansion of the coffee chain following a period of 'tempered" store additions. The company opened six Starbucks outlets in India in the June quarter, bringing the total tally to 485. The store expansion was slightly "tempered," the management said. 'You would probably see a similar number or maybe slightly more this quarter. I would probably wait for one more quarter before pressing the accelerator on outlets," Sunil D'Souza, managing director and CEO of Tata Consumer Products, said in an interview with Mint on Thursday. Store openings for Starbucks moderated in the past two quarters, with the company adding six stores per quarter. This was lower than the double-digit expansion in previous quarters. Total store additions in FY25 were 58, down from a record 95 opened in FY24. Starbucks' revenue grew 6% year-on-year during the June quarter, while same-store sales growth was positive, except in May, when regional geopolitical tensions flared up and impacted store operating hours in some areas. 'We started seeing traffic increase as well as same-store sales growth starting to pick up into the positive territory after four to five quarters of pressure, except for the month of May when we had store closures and reduced timings with Operation Sindoor, especially in north and northwestern India. Other than that, we can see that trajectory starting to shift and growth starting to come back. I'm cautiously optimistic," he said. The coffee chain started operating in India in 2012 through a 50:50 joint venture between Starbucks Coffee Company and Tata Consumer Products. In early 2024, Tata Starbucks Pvt Ltd stated its ambition of operating 1,000 stores in India by 2028, effectively opening one store every three days. Discretionary spending stress Store openings in the coming quarters could more than double from levels in the June quarter, D'Souza said. The chain had added 16 stores in the December quarter, with expansion dialed up in east India. In the September quarter, 19 stores were added and in the June quarter of FY25, it opened 17 outlets. High food inflation has tempered consumer demand across the board, leading many companies to report sluggish sales. D'Souza acknowledged that this "stress on discretionary spends" had impacted the quick service restaurant (QSR) space, including Starbucks. However, recent initiatives like new menu items are showing results, he said. A December report by Motilal Oswal highlighted significant demand challenges, weak unit economics, and increased competition impacting QSR financial performance in the September quarter, leading to contracted margins across major brands. The chain is 'exploring" more Starbucks Reserve stores following the 2022 opening of the first such outlet in Mumbai's Fort area. Reserve stores are premium outlets that offer small-lot, single-origin coffees from around the world. 'We are exploring 'Reserve' in one or two cities nationally, but it depends. We've still not pressed the trigger on anything. We opened Starbucks Reserve after converting the existing Starbucks store in Mumbai to a Reserve store, and that is doing very well for us. So, we've been thinking about expanding," D'Souza said. Shares of Tata Consumer Products rose 1.06% on the BSE at 1:12 PM on Thursday, a day after the company's earnings announcement.
