US EditionFood companies are targeting users of weight-loss drugs with 'GLP-1 Friendly' labels
About 12% of U.S. adults use GLP-1 drugs for weight loss or chronic conditions, prompting food makers to label products as nutrient-dense and portion-controlled.
- On January 14, 2026, Nestle and Conagra are adding 'GLP-1 Friendly' labels to meals in U.S. supermarkets after customer demand, with some brands including Smoothie King and Factor targeted at GLP-1 users.
- Rising use of GLP-1 medications prompted food makers to respond as around 12% of U.S. adults used GLP-1 drugs by November, with demand expected to grow after Wegovy's oral form appeared last week.
- Registered dietitians advising GLP-1 users say they should meet USDA fiber guidance of around 14 grams per 1,000 calories and limit fat to less than 10 grams per serving, as Christen recommends.
- Regulators allowed certain label claims but flagged the lack of standards; USDA FSIS permitted GLP-1 Friendly labels with protein and fiber statements, while FDA does not regulate the term, prompting dietitians to urge consumer scrutiny.
- Surprising market data shows 77% of Vital Pursuit sales come from households without GLP-1 users, despite targeting GLP-1 consumers, and some labeled items like the Three Meat Pizza contain high sodium and fat.
