As companies try to innovate into new products through well tested and market proven strategies. #PepsiCo is reinventing their puffed snacks by bringing a twist to the well known sweet and salty tasting pretzel into a puffed snack option. This cross-branding strategy of PepsiCo (From Rold Gold pretzel to Cheetos puffs) can be a divergent step from conventional product development. #innovation #pretzelpuffs #PepsiCo

Thanks to FRITSCH Bakery Technologies for sharing this case study. I am sure a growing bakery business will serve as inspiration. #Bakery #Foodmanufacturing #Foodindustry #Production #Foodtrends

What is the future of convenience? Sainsburys recently announced a partnership with Gousto, launching their meal kit (£9 for 2 people) offerings in 60 stores. They have also doubled their offerings under their collaboration with Simply Cook (£7 for 2 people). Both are attempts to capture spend from consumers that are trading down from restaurants. Whilst the kits are designed to appeal to more adventurous consumers with a range of interesting recipes, both options also place greater emphasis on convenience of preparation addressing consumer concerns around Ultra Processed Foods. I recently tried out Gymkhana’s (London based Michelin Star Restaurant) Rogan Josh cooking sauce and as an experiment compared it to Patak’s (Major Retail Brand). Whilst the Gymkhana product clearly won on flavour, priced at £8 a jar (for a cooking sauce), its appeal might be limited to a select few. While convenience remains in demand, consumer perceptions of quality may evolve over time. Nevertheless, relative value for money will always be crucial.
