Hamburg. (bm) Sandwich consumption is high; on average, consumers in the U.S. eat more than three sandwiches per week. However, 54 percent of consumers – up from 51 percent two years ago – indicate they are preparing sandwiches themselves. This means operators and suppliers will need to focus on hard-to-duplicate menu items to entice consumers to purchase more sandwiches away from home – Technomic said in its new «Sandwich Consumer Trend Report».
