Here are some of the top trends that dominated the show, as well as some new products we are most excited for.
Plant-based, please!
A top trend at Expo East, plant-based products continue to disrupt traditional meat, dairy and seafood products. Makers are pitching products across all categories, from snacks like jerky and cookies to non-dairy yogurts, cheeses and ice cream.
What’s new?
Flavor-forward sauces
From tomato sauces and tapenades to mustards, mayos and marinades, the condiment category is bursting with bold flavors from around the globe.
What's new?
Keep calm and keto on
Consumers are skipping the sugar and opting for lower carb alternatives to indulgent favorites. A recent study published in Today’s Dietitian identified the ketogenic diet as the top diet trend of 2019, and brands are adding fuel to the fire. New products from all categories were represented at this year’s show -- from chocolate to cheese snacks and bread to baking mix.
What’s new?
Hot on hemp
Consumers are curious about cannabis, and brands are catching on. Food and beverage makers are innovating with hemp extract, offering everything from hemp-infused creamers to nut butters and even cotton candy.
What’s new?
Going against the grain
While not a new trend, it is one that continues to see steady growth. Companies new and old are offering products made with alternative flours like coconut, cassava and almond.
