Talking points: Breaking out of the “international aisle”

26 April 2024 19:51 RaboResearch

Here are four themes that have stuck with me and my colleagues from last month’s Natural Products Expo West – an annual opportunity to check in on what’s new and trending with emerging food brands:

Intro

1) Realism and the end of hype – Focusing more on the here and now.

2) Breaking out of the “international aisle” – Embracing foods from all over the world.

3) What’s in? – Sustainable farming practices, colorful packaging, and appealing to our sweet tooth.

4) Message to CEOs – Lots to inspire and emulate, little to worry about.
