December, 2016 – Skidmore is Keeping Our Eye on Emerging Industry Trends

With year after year consumer demand for healthy, safe food options continuing to grow, food manufacturers are focusing on two key areas in 2017:
  • Alternative Sources for Proteins
  • Products for Food Protection.
You might think after 2016 was named the “International Year of Pulses” by the UN that interest in pulses would taper off as this year reaches its conclusion. But, the reverse is true. Demand for diets rich in plant-based proteins is still growing strong. Recent studies have shown consumers who identify as “flexitarians” (those cutting back on their meat intake), are on the rise. Innova Market Insights reports 11% of US consumers have decreased their meat intake in the past year, and more than 120 million Americans can now be considered flexitarian.
Many experts report that US consumers are moving away from dieting fads and are making a conscious effort to be more knowledgeable of the foods they eat. They are actively monitoring news sources for new product innovations, and recalls, alike.  With today’s mass media outlets and heavy social media traffic, manufacturers cannot risk the potential fallout of a food safety event.
In addition to offering a wide variety of pulses and vegetable protein products, including both gluten-free and non-GMO ingredients; Skidmore also has a broad mix of the ingredients that manufacturers need to ensure product safety and exceed consumer expectations. From acidulants to antimicrobials, we offer food protection ingredients from all the major suppliers so your products can be safe for your customers. Additionally, we continually track emerging industry developments worldwide to ensure the right ingredients are properly sourced for your next innovation.
