On the Horizon in Deli and Bakery
The following concepts stole the spotlight at this month's International Dairy Deli Bakery Association show. Look for them to make their way into in-store delis and bakeries soon.
Whole grain salads offer consumers a healthful and filling option as a deli side dish.
James Skinner Baking Company has developed a tamper-evident safety seal to enhance food safety for their in-store bakery products, without additional cost to retailers or consumers.
Flatbread pizzas provide unique flavor combinations with a European edge.
Nestle Flavor Bags are available in various flavors, into which consumers pour their protein of choice to marinade.
Mini appetizers and desserts, including dessert sliders, provide consumers a more economical option than full-size portions, and are perfect for smaller households or to wow dinner guests.
Portable meals allow in-store delis to compete with fast-food restaurants. They give consumers more healthful and gourmet options, with the convenience of grab and go. Stackable, viewable packaging allows consumers to view their meal at every angle, and provides an efficient merchandising option for retailers.
