Food in Canada is proud to present a webinar series on Trends and Innovations in Food. Join us once a month to discuss emerging trends in the food-manufacturing sector. This three-part series promises in-depth discussions, valuable insights, and actionable takeaways to help you stay ahead in an evolving landscape.
The Ozempic Effect
Tuesday, March 5 – 1 to 2 p.m. ET
We kick-off the series with a discussion on the effects of GLP-1 weight loss drugs on food consumption. A Numerator study found consumers using GLP-1 medication for weight loss tend to have larger declines in spending than those using the medication for diabetes management or those who are not using the medication. Is this all hype, or is this merely an indication of a deeper, more significant change in food-consumption patterns? Join us for a deep dive into the Ozempic Effect.
