Due to consumer and industry skepticism around the meaning of the word “natural”, the health seeking consumer has begun to prefer alternative on-pack claims and third party certifications to validate if a product fits within their personal eating philosophy, or food tribe. Food Tribe: “Communities that share preferences regarding the types of foods they eat, for reasons such as their health, the environment, or animal welfare” [Source: lexiconoffood.com]. The Paleo Approved logo helps Paleo consumers easily and readily identify products that fit into their lifestyle, and in a recent poll in the largest online Paleo Community group, 100% of Paleo adherents said they would try a new product displaying a Paleo Certification label.
