Let's Talk

BRIDGE THE CONSUMPTION GAP

TruServ® Whole Food Ingredients Can Help Consumers Bridge the Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Gap

The TruServ® program was developed to answer the call to bring convenient, transparent fruit and vegetable servings to better-for-you products.

Child Juice Box

Based on the newly published USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans, U.S. consumers fall significantly short of daily recommendations for fruit and vegetable servings.

Woman Eating Healthy

80% of the US population does not meet the average recommended servings of two cups of fruit per day, and 90% does not meet the average recommended servings of two and a half cups of vegetables per day.

Man Reading Product Label

While many consumers may understand the benefits of making nutrient-dense, whole foods a regular part of their diet, their desire for convenience and taste, or sometimes just a lack of access, out- weighs healthy choices.

Transparency

Each claim has been TruServ Verified® by FutureCeuticals’ exclusive method of substantiation that connects our extensive production data and the USDA Nutritional database to only our fruit, vegetable, and leafy green ingredients. These verified claims make it easy for consumers to clearly understand the real quantities of fruit and vegetables inside healthy products.

TruServ® also provides brands the opportunity to leverage transparent claims that enhance their product story. The TruServ® seal is available for use on your finished label packaging to signify the importance of label claim verification.

Serving Claims You Can Count On

Fruit and vegetable serving claims on product labels can help consumers make better choices. In fact, our market research shows that consumers are motivated to purchase products with on-label serving size claims. They view these products as healthier and more transparent than those that do not include claims.
