MORE TRENDS! Yesterday, I jumped into Whole Foods 2025 Trends and today we have a good contrast with Kroger. Food Dupes - Private Label always boons in times of economic challenges . What's different lately is house brands trying to lead innovation and quality, not just price. They are also dropping much more sophisticated brands making these a formidable challenger. Bold & Briny - it will never translate to beverage in a big way, but I love this trend for food. Acidity is a very important flavor component that doesn't get a lot of love. There's a lot of room for fermented, briny products and ingredients on the shelf. The Protein Renaissance - shared trend in this and the WFM report. Got to pay attention to protein, but I still say no thank you to protein beer. Pepper Palette - I know some people who have been ahead on this trend. There is a whole world in the pepper palette that could explode. Hail, Caesar - this one surprised me. Is it really something beyond a viral moment? If so, what are some crazy ways you could play with it? Caesar cheese spread? https://buff.ly/3AjAxgk

#Potatochips have come a long way from #Crum’s original #saltedcrisps to today's wildly creative flavors like Pringles’ #BrusselsSprouts. What started as a simple snack has transformed into a playground for culinary innovation, reflecting global influences and changing consumer tastes. From the introduction of #BBQ and #SourCream&Onion in the mid-20th century to today’s bold and unexpected flavors like #Kimchi and #Truffle, potato chips have become a canvas for #flavorexperimentation. Curious about the #trends driving these changes? https://lnkd.in/dVaZuQSM PepsiCo

Consumer experimentation with flavor is on the rise. More than a third of US consumers are trying more flavors than last year, due to an increase in "information, innovation and opportunities...making experimentation more accessible than ever." Trying new flavors is now considered part of everyday life, with consumers actively seeking out unique taste experiences. Brick-and-mortar grocery store inspiration, social media recommendations, and customizable restaurant menus are the most common places consumers discover new flavors. It is important for CPG brands to keep up with the consumer desire for flavor novelty, and to stay on top of sustainable growth trends when planning innovations. Especially considering the new focus consumers are placing on seeking out and trying new offerings. Have you tried a new flavor this year? If so, what was the flavor? #mrx #cpg #trends #innovation #consumerinsights https://lnkd.in/eqy3wq9s

Owing to the fast-paced lifestyle and increasing working women population, the consumption of ready-to-eat food products is in demand. This directly aids the food flavors market growth. The flavor industry is driven by advancements in beverage manufacturing technologies. Flavorists at beverage-making firms focus on creating a perfect blend of flavors that would add and cater to the changing preference of consumers. Generally, beverage manufacturers do not process the flavor. They outsource them to flavor companies. #flavor #flavours #marketing #food #foodandbeverage

THe debut of Bettergoods marks Walmart’s largest private-label launch in the food and beverage category in 20 years. The items fall under three category pillars: 1) Culinary experiences: Items with “innovative” recipes, elevated ingredients and trendy offerings, such as a hot honey seasoning for $3 and a line of jar soups, including a creamy corn jalapeno chowder for $4. 2) Plant-based: Products feature distinct green branding, such as oatmilk non-dairy frozen desserts for $3.44 a pint and a $4 cheese alternative. 3) “Made Without”: Products that cater to different dietary lifestyles, such as gluten free, or made without artificial flavors, colorings or added sugars. Takeaway: Rising grocery prices in 2022, drove cost-conscious consumers to shift to private labels to save money. However, the reasons now extend beyond price - consumers continue to buy private brands for their quality, taste, and ability to meet their specific dietary needs. #walmart #privatebrands #commerce

We believe it’s important to know where our food comes from. It’s easy to walk through a grocery store without thinking about how products are grown—or that many varieties never make it to the shelf. Factors like shelf life, taste, and transportability determine what you see in stores, but there’s so much more behind the scenes. Wrapping up our segment on common food items, we’re sharing 7 you may not have thought about. Did any of these surprise you? #FoodAwareness #ConsumerEducation #NaturalOrigins #GroceryRetail #Retail #Canada #BrandManagement #CPGIndustry #FoodBroker
