Prepared Foods now goes anywhere—and everywhere—to cover critical topics.
Egg-Celent Option
Prepared Foods talks with Harold Bollaci, founder and CEO of The Vegg New York, LLC, maker of a 100% plant-based egg substitute. While there are few egg analog makers on the market, The Vegg’s unique approach offers not only a scrambled version but a way to make the product into a spherical egg yolk.
Sustainability Sells!
Prepared Foods talks sustainability with Innova Market Insights’ Co-Founder and Global Insights Director Lu Ann Williams. Innova research shows consumers increasingly interested in matters of food and packaging waste. New packaging designs, use of “upcycled” ingredients and other factors are influencing new product development as well as on-pack product claims.
Hot Sauces and Snacks
Prepared Foods visits Natural Products Expo West and showcases new hot sauces and snack items that cover global and ethnic takes on heat—from chili peppers to wasabi and other horseradish to black pepper.
Keep it Clean: Clean Label Appeal
Consumers have come to trust organic certified labeling on food and beverage packages. As their preferences become more nuanced, a trend toward "clean label ingredients" has overtaken the market.
Innovating for Immunity
Health and wellness has become a baseline attribute for many new food and beverage products. As consumers seek to support health with snacks and meals, marketers have included dozens of lesser-used ingredients to deliver health functions in their innovations. This piece features products and trends making an impact in the immunity category.
