In their winter magazine edition, Specialty Food Association is giving us a preview of the top trends of 2024. Some of these expected trends include, cell based meat and seafood, unique flavors and ingredients such as peach, calabrian chili peppers, black sesame, ube and the use of tahini. However, one of the biggest trends expected is a flurry of activity and new products in the beverage space. We are excited that beverage sales are up and innovation is expected in the non-alcoholic fizzy and non-fizzy spaces as well as coffees, teas and broths. This news made us think, what companies have recently launched some of these on-trend products and who should we watch in 2024. In the single serve beverage space we are excited about soda makers poppi and OLIPOP PBC, whose single serve cans include prebiotics, low sugar and clean ingredients. Mocktail Club is already using herb flavors and their Bombay Fire mocktail includes on-trend ingredients such as tea and chili peppers. Last but certainly not least is HOP WTR whose non-alcoholic brews already come in a variety of flavors including peach. What other companies will join this space and what exciting innovation can we expect to see from these leaders? #cpgindustry, #CPG, #cpgbrands, #beverageindustry, #nabeverage, #zeroproof, #drinks, #poppi, #olipop, #hopwtr, #innovation, #ontrend, #specialityfood

Remember five years ago when plant-based proteins were ALL THE RAGE, and #fastfood, #QSR, and restaurant chains engaged in a no-holds-barred arms race to add Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods offerings to their respective menus? I certainly do. I've been tracking this trend now for the past 24 months, and the mainstream plant-based meat movement is, in my opinion, essentially dead (or on death's door...knocking loudly). Consumers, particularly vegans and vegetarians, have made it loud and clear this #food trend is over by backing away from these products and voting with their wallets. Simply stated, they don't desire or consume plant-based meats...despite what the sales figures from industry associations indicate. As Fast Company's Kristin Toussaint details here, https://buff.ly/3UKuPdi, the latest nail in the coffin for plant-based meats is the decision by Del Taco and CARL'S JR. RESTAURANTS, LLC, both early Beyond Meat adopters in 2019, have scaled back their plant-based offerings, or no longer sell them entirely. Neither does Dunkin', and many other chains have removed them from menus as well. Of course, time will tell if Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods can recover from these setbacks. At the moment, consumer demand just isn't there.

Here are my top 3 must-dos for life with delicious food in France! 1. Shop local Go to your local markets. France is amazing in that each little town or village still has a weekly market where you can buy fresh produce including fruit & veg, meat, cheese, and fish. The fruit & veg will most likely be cheaper than in the supermarkets and you can also get to know your favourite market seller who will advise you on their seasonal, fresh produce. Meat, cheese, and fish is usually a bit more expensive than at the supermarket, but that's because it's likely to be much better quality. So, if you can afford it, I would always recommend buying at the market from local butchers, cheesemongers etc. 2. Eat local Try out your local restaurants and cafés. Keep the local community thriving whilst tasting regional dishes! It doesn't get better than that! Obviously there will be hit-and-miss places (as well as hit-and-miss dishes!), but I can guarantee you'll uncover some gems whilst making new friends along the way. 3. Get adventurous Trying new things is my goal for this year and there's nothing better for making your days a bit brighter than by trying a new dish, ingredient, place to eat, or activity to try. Have you seen a local delicacy you'd like to eat but haven't tried yet? Or maybe you've read a sign in your local mairie or community centre for a class you'd like to sign up to? What's stopping you giving it a try? #myfoodinfrance #mybestfriendinfrance #bestfriendinfrance #mfif #bff

Burgers, prized for their convenience and quick consumption, have seen an expansion in offerings to cater to various tastes and dietary choices. With the rise of plant-based diets and environmental concerns, there's a notable uptick in demand for alternative burgers crafted from ingredients like pea protein, soy, and mushrooms, mimicking traditional meat flavors and textures. Despite concerns about their healthiness, burgers remain popular due to their portability and diverse culinary experiences offered by global fast-food chains, gourmet burger joints, food trucks, and specialty restaurants.
