North America is Holding a Prominent Share in the Superfoods Market
Superfoods have emerged as an increasingly significant category of health food products and related popular discourse about food, health, and values. The United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) announced that food manufacturers could now carry a qualified health claim on foods that contained omega-3 EFAs that linked omega-3 consumption with reduced risk of coronary heart disease. The market players are constantly innovating new products with nutritional benefits and convenience, which is why the market is growing.
