The term "superfood" has become increasingly popular in recent years. It refers to foods that are promoted as being particularly nutritious and beneficial to health. They are often marketed as naturally high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Scientifically, however, the term "superfood" is not clearly defined. It is a marketing term, probably first used in 1949 in relation to the supposed nutritional value of a muffin.
At the same time, dietary supplements and fortified foods are gaining popularity. They can be useful when there is a real deficiency or for individual medical reasons. In Germany, however, many of these added nutrients are often superfluous, and excessive intake can even pose a risk. The distinction between food supplements and fortified foods is also becoming increasingly blurred—there are now gummy bears with vitamins and vitamins in gummy bear form.
