Tessemae's Fresh Food Company, operating in the fresh salad dressing and condiment category, is spending 2017 transforming into a fresh food company.  A new brand refresh will kick off the company's expansion into the organic produce market.

It’s no secret that consumers are demanding more transparency and clean labels when it comes to foods, beverages and supplements. Likewise, natural and organic products no longer represent trends. They have become mainstream markets. Also consider that an estimated 10% of global new food, beverage and supplements introduced during 2016 carried an organic label claim.*

BreadPartners, Inc., a bread and cake ingredient manufacturer located in Cinnaminson, N.J., has formulated an affordable and wholesome pre-cooked whole grain mixture, Reddi-Soaked Grains, which may be added on top of any existing formula. 

To consumers, clean labels mean “healthy.” Health and wellness has moved from being nutrition-driven (fat and sugar) to ingredient-driven and nothing artificial.

Millennials and Generation Z consumers are the most inclined to view any type of fat not only as permissible, but as offering positive health benefits, according to Food Formulation Trends: Oils and Fats, a new report by market research firm Packaged Facts.

The product has zero grams of sugar, carbohydrate or fat.

The new entrees are a natural evolution for the brand as EVOL continues to push the boundaries of the frozen food category exploring different flavor profiles and unique ethnic cuisines.

Truly Spiked & Sparkling is a spiked sparkling water, a category poised to potentially be a spring and summer alcohol trend.
