The food and beverage space has been experiencing a spate of bankruptcies as of late, and experts believe that this is likely just the beginning of the failures as more companies are expected to collapse amid changing consumer tastes & challenges raising money to fund their cash-intensive businesses. “We’re at the tip of the iceberg. There’s going to be more fallout,” said Brian Choi, CEO of The Food Institute, a food industry media and market research company.

Niche specialty food companies are filing bankruptcy. Why? Shift in consumer habits? Overzealous growth expectation? Capital Intensive Operations? Product Doesn't Taste Good?
