New York-based BuzzBack Market Research unveiled highlights from its annual Teen Health & Nutrition Survey this week. The survey revealed that teens 13-19 consume an average of three snacks per day. Females skip more meals than males.
Top snack choices for this age bracket include: potato or tortilla chips (43%), cookies (35%) and fresh fruit (32%). The study also showed that 69% of teens have tried a new snack product in the past year with males more likely to try a new food or bevvie based on packaging and advertising. Gals, on the other hand, were more impressed by fewer calories and sugar-free/low-carb options.
