Key Highlights
Over one third of US shoppers are highly influenced by claims of "authentic," "home-made," or "made with real ingredients" when buying food and drinks, highlighting the extent to which recessionary consumers are seeking comfort and safety.

However, with more than four in 10 US shoppers claiming that they enjoy experimenting with different alcoholic beverage flavors and mixers, it seems that consumer conservatism continues to be offset by an inherent willingness to take risks and experiment with new products.
