📲 How Social Media is Shaping the Food Industry 🍔 Social media has become a powerful tool in propelling FMCG products to massive popularity without heavy advertising costs. Brands like Takis and Prime have soared in demand, driven by their "Instagrammability" and viral trends on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Younger generations, especially Gen Z and Millennials, discover snacks and drinks not on shelves but online. Companies like Lidl in Deutschland and ALDI Nord Group ALDI SÜD are leveraging social media trends and direct customer feedback to adapt and innovate their offerings, from vegan products to trending snacks like Dubai chocolate and Pink Drink. While influencer-driven hypes can lead to short-term success, businesses need to differentiate between fleeting trends and sustainable consumer demands. Speed and agility are key to capitalizing on trends, with some companies rapidly introducing limited editions or even restructuring product lines to meet viral demands. 🎉Which food trends that are driven by Social Media are you looking forward to see at Anuga 2025? #WeAreAnuga #FoodTrends #ViralProducts #FMCG

🤖 AI is cooking for you 👨🍳 Moley Robotics is transforming the way we cook with its state-of-the-art robotic kitchen technology. Founded in 2014 by Mark Oleynik, PhD, the UK-based company partnered with German robotics company SCHUNK - Hand in hand for tomorrow to create robotic hands capable of recreating restaurant-quality meals designed by top chefs. From soups to steaks, these robots are taking cooking to the next level! 🥘 AI-Driven Cooking: Moley’s patented AI algorithms allow the robot to adapt in real-time to cooking conditions, ensuring precision and consistency. Labour-Saving Tech: In commercial kitchens, Moley’s robots streamline workflows, reduce human errors, and ensure timely execution of even complex dishes. High-Quality, Every Time: With accuracy and timing built in, these robots can prepare meals like risotto without compromising on quality, all while reducing labour costs. 💡Challenges and Innovation Robots may not surpass human chefs any time soon, but Moley Robotics is setting a high standard for precision and consistency. By recording recipes with top chefs, the robot ensures each dish meets the original chef’s standards before it’s added to the system. While fully robotic kitchens may still be far off, Moley is showing how standardized menus and automated cooking can work hand-in-hand for maximum efficiency. 🚀The Future of Robotic Kitchens As robotics in the kitchen becomes more common, Dr. Oleynik envisions a future where robotic kitchens are available to everyone, making gourmet-quality meals at home the norm. While current models are priced similarly to luxury kitchens, the goal is to make these systems affordable for everyday households within the next decade. Moley’s journey is just beginning! The future of commercial cooking might just be around the corner — and it’s robotic. #WeAreAnuga #FoodInnovation #FoodAndBeverage #FoodExperts Source: Moley Robotics
