At the IBIE show in September, Delta, BC-based Unifiller plans to launch several new pieces of equipment that are exclusively designed for supermarket and commissary bakeries and delis that supply supermarkets, said Sonia Bal, the company’s director of global marketing.
Bakeries can make great headway in today’s marketplace with innovative new products that meet the evolving needs of consumers, who are far more international in their flavor preferences than ever before.
Apples may get a lot of the attention in the fresh fruit world when it comes to new and interesting varieties, but grapes are another category where innovation is par for the course.
Charlotte, N.C.-based Dole Food Co. is now a year-round supplier of grapes, with production in Mexico, California, Peru and Chile, said Bil Goldfield, the company’s director of corporate communications.
An unprecedented combination of factors affecting the production and movement of foods around the world is having a major impact on meat and poultry markets, and retailers and their supply partners won’t likely see that changing anytime soon.
