What the Current Data Shows

Fun with Flavors

U.S. Consumers are clamoring for more “better-for-you” ingredients when it

comes to condiments. They also want to experiment with new flavors and

fragrances to re-create the restaurant experience – a less affordable option for

many in this economy – at home.

Blended flavors and spicy and garlic flavors are on the rise due to the increasing

popularity of global ethnic cuisines such as Thai, Indian and Chinese amongst

American consumers.

What the Current Data Shows

• “The trend towards convenient foods, higher demand for global cuisine and innovative packaging continue to drive demand for food accompaniments and ingredients such as condiments and sauces. Added to the exposure caused by changing ethnic mix of national populations, people are journeying abroad in ever-increasing numbers and broadening their food horizons. The trend towards healthy living coupled with time-pressed, busy lifestyles also contributes significantly to the growing preference for ready-to-eat products.”
