Simple, meaningful, healthy habits often become more complex and confusing than they need to be in some wellness circles, and for the launch of its Full on Fibre labelling system, Sainsbury’s launched a pop-up experience in London called Järgon & Co. At this immersive concept store, guests will see everyday household foods named with overly complicated jargon—like Slow-Release Energy Roots and Rolled Avena Energy Flakes, representing root vegetables and oats, respectively.
According to new research from Sainsbury’s, nutritional advice is unclear, and it has a real impact on how people eat: 62% of Brits don’t know their recommended daily fiber intake, and 66% believe that healthy food is more expensive than unhealthy options. With Järgon & Co., Sainsbury’s is on a mission to demystify fiber and point people to naturally fiber-rich foods like berries, popcorn, and beans.
