WINNING THE CATEGORY FIGHT FOR RELEVANCE The salty snacking category is one of the most contested in the land. It has been interesting to see Pepsico take advantage of its brands and stretch them in their fight to stay relevant in the world. New news in category is vital in snacking and whilst these product extensions will never take on the volume play of the core lines, they do a job of showing that the brands are alive and actively doing something different, hoping you try these and potentially also add an incremental purchase of the core lines. This time it has been interesting to see how the flavour has led the charge across the branded portfolio of 3 crisp brands, you can from the outside of the business see the inner workings of the team coming together across the brands to empower all and not just one. Too few brands add excitement and link their brands across the category in this way. Smart play and will no doubt pay dividends for the category and Pepsico. Interesting to see how they've used regal purple hold them all together as well, clearly promoting the 3 in their own right, looking forward to seeing how they are merchandised on shelf. #pepsico #cpg #fmcg

⬇ Not had time to catch up on recent retail news? We've got you covered with a summary of this week's top stories: ♻️The Coca-Cola Company has removed labels from its Sprite and Sprite Zero products in eight UK stores as part of a trial to boost recyclability and reduce the use of packaging materials. The 100% recycled PET bottles feature Sprite and Sprite Zero’s distinctive green and transparent caps to enable them to be easily identified. Laser-engraved product and nutritional information also appears on the back of pack. 🐔 Fridge Raiders has added a new Poppers variant to its chicken snack range. The high-protein chicken bites will be exclusively available in Tesco, with wider availability nationwide from April. The first flavour of this new format is Cheesy Nacho, with a second flavour expected in April. 🥥The Coconut Collab has closed its Series B funding round with a £1.5m investment. The coconut-based desserts and dairy alternative brand attracted investment from existing shareholders, including Ground Force Capital, a leading venture capital group in the US. 🍫 Müller UK & Ireland has expanded the use of its Cadbury UK licence into bottled drinks for the first time in the UK and Ireland, after launching two milkshakes under the Mondelēz International brand.   🍓 British rapper Aitch has launched a fizzy water brand called SYPS. The Syps range comprises strawberry, peach and lemon & lime flavoured fizzy waters. The zero-sugar, zero-calorie range of drinks will launch in 1,200 Iceland Foods and The Food Warehouse stores this week. #latestnews #newstoday #trending #podtalent #supplychain #recruitment #london #manchester #international 

Mondelez raised it prices 30% over the last 2 years but is now hitting the wall with US Consumers. The company is looking to run promotions to get price points back under $4 and hopefully regain some volume growth. while it waits for Consumers to get used to higher prices from #foodinflation. There was a recent article from General Mills about the topic of Consumers and the belief is that it will take another 12-18 months for these prices to feel 'normal' for us. That's a long time to wait while your business is flat-to-declining. And spending big on promotions erodes the bottom line. #cpg #retailing #inflation
