Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2016 -- The bakery industry has expanded from simple baked goods to a multitude of products across various categories, including healthy, organic offerings.

Healthy-eating trends, in light of growing concerns about obesity and related health issues, are expected to drive the bakery market globally. Manufacturers incorporate healthy ingredients, such as whole grains, into their products. They also label the products, clearly listing all ingredients, to enable consumers to make informed choices. Many vendors have also reduced the portion sizes of their products, targeting consumers who are calorie conscious. Dupont offers a toffee-filled chocolate cake with about 50% fewer calories than standard cake. Dawn Foods also offers a wide range of baked products such as brownies, cakes, and cookies under the name Weight Watchers. Puraslim is a low-fat, cost-effective alternative for traditional margarine, butter, and oil used in baking. Its use enables the reduction of the amount of fat in baked goods.
