224. Your brand is compliant—but your customers still don't trust you. And that gap is costing you sales, distribution, and long-term loyalty.

In this episode, I sit down with Jackie Bowen, Executive Director of Clean Label Project, to unpack why trust and transparency are now the ultimate competitive advantage in CPG. We go beyond "natural" and "non-GMO" to discuss heavy metals, pesticide residues, plastics, benchmarking data, QR-code transparency, and why the court of public opinion matters more than federal compliance.

You'll learn how to leverage clean label standards, supplier assurance, and real data to differentiate your brand, win retailer confidence, and build lasting consumer loyalty.
