Here are some trends we observed:
Tofu Reinvented
Tofu is a key feature in plant-based eating, making it easy to add this versatile protein to our diets. Innovative preparation methods offer healthy, delicious tofu meals without the fuss. Pre-chopped, marinated, and ready-to-cook options can save time when meal-prepping.
Non-Alcoholic Beverages
Looks like this trend is here to stay and with many benefits. Using ingredients like teas, spices, botanicals, vinegars, and bitters for non-alcoholic beverages create flavorful drinks that refresh, hydrate, and offer a new solution for a delicious drink.
Not Your Average Oil
Fancy oils are gaining popularity not just because of their distinct flavours and growing regions but also for their versatility. They can be used in everything from salad dressings to marinades, dips, and even desserts. Additionally, they can offer health benefits, with high levels of monounsaturated fats and antioxidants like polyphenols.
It was wonderful to experience the charm of Montreal once again, connecting with clients, building new relationships, and indulging in many samples!
We talked to so many brands who are eager to get their products into the hands of consumers, and we are pleased to support this by offering quick, compliant market entry solutions in the areas of regulatory affairs, creative services and clinical research.
