Food trend refers to an observable change or emerging pattern in food preferences, purchasing, consumption, and dietary practices within a population over time ^[1][2]. Such trends may involve changes in the types and quantities of foods consumed, eating habits, meal patterns, food preparation practices, and preferences for particular dietary approaches or food products ^[1][2]. They are shaped by interacting factors, including income, urbanization, demographic characteristics, cultural values, health awareness, food availability, marketing, and technological developments ^[2][3]. From a public health perspective, food trends are important because shifts in consumption patterns can influence dietary quality, nutritional status, and the prevalence of diet-related diseases ^[1][3]. Monitoring these changes helps identify emerging nutritional risks, assess population dietary needs, and inform nutrition education, dietary guidance, and public health interventions.
