Although there’s certainly been a push toward health and wellness in recent years, consumers are still craving nostalgic, indulgent foods and flavors, especially in times of stress.
It’s usually around this time of year, as the leaves start to change and the weather gets colder, that consumers begin engaging in more permissible indulgence, reaching for their favorite desserts and comfort foods.
Each year, Dairy Foods takes a deep dive into trends (both current and emerging), as well as opportunities and challenges, within a variety of dairy-product and related segments. The result is our annual State of the Industry report, published in our November issue.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit back in March, life for most Americans took a sharp detour from business as usual. Among other practices, the "new normal" brought with it the social distancing, mask wearing and sharp increase in at-home food preparation that continue to this day.
We all address inconsistencies in our products. When early spoilage occurs, the typical chain of events unfolds in this way: We email our QA department; they pull hold samples, respond with their findings and oftentimes that may be the end of the investigation.
Brands could win over digital-savvy consumers by being more inventive in how they use colors to differentiate their products, creating aesthetically exciting and “like-worthy” food experiences.
Color, one of the most important sensory aspects of food, provides visual cues about quality and taste. It’s a product feature that brands can leverage to increase consumer appeal, win over new customers and inspire repeat purchase.
Toward the end of 2018, I penned a column defending Dairy Foods' coverage of the plant-based dairy-alternative space. The column was in response to reader feedback suggesting such coverage was harming dairy farmers and the dairy processing industry.
The coronavirus pandemic has turned our world upside down in many ways. As it’s challenged consumers, it has also challenged our foodservice/restaurant and retail customers to become increasingly innovative in how they serve their customers.
