Food inclusions refer to added ingredients such as nuts, dried fruits, chocolate chips, flavored bits, and other specialty components that enhance the taste, texture, appearance, and nutritional value of food products.

Manufacturers use them to cater to evolving consumer preferences for innovative, indulgent, and nutritious food options, making food inclusions a key driver of product differentiation and brand positioning.

The rising awareness of nutritional food benefits is significantly contributing to food inclusions market expansion.
