Foodmaker’s “In The Spotlight” Trends

              Some opening words from Foodmaker’s Head of Culinary Development

Throughout the pandemic, Foodmaker have been busy developing a new range of Summer flavours for the 2021 season.
During this time of development and influenced by public response to the pandemic, Foodmaker identified several key
emerging trends.

Global Cuisine – As Foodmaker’s headline which integrates all areas of this years Summer 2021 development, we’ll see
consumers desiring flavour profiles which remind them of holiday destinations due to the restrictions on travel going forward.
Foodmaker have also seen Global Cuisine as a growing segment within the meat and poultry category of the supermarkets
throughout previous years.

Health and Immunity – Due to the impact of COVID-19 virus, consumers are becoming increasingly savvy to foods which
offer health benefits, boosting the immune system to help reduce the risk of illness. Consumers are looking for more from
their food, searching for such benefits as gut health improvement; “good mood food” (nootropics and adaptogens) and joint
health.

Indulgence – We’ll see many consumers looking for premium foods, coming out of the lockdown. Those who have been
able to maintain a high level of disposable income, will drive towards a premium flavor profile as a “reward” for the lockdown
experience.

Traditional Favourites – Conversely to those consumers who search out indulgence, we’ll also see many looking for a
feeling of nostalgia and traditional favourites. These will be consumers who are looking for safe flavours; those that they
know but with a twist.

Plant Based Foods – Meat free options have seen a dramatic increase with consumers becoming more mindful about their
food options and the effect on their health and the planet. An increase in the flexitarian consumers continues and new
improving developments in this category will continue the growth of existing and new consumers looking for plant based and
meat free alternatives. All of our Summer 2021 flavours, can be used within the Foodmaker’s meat free functional bases.

Key indicators show we’ll see more emphasis on products
which will boost both typically known health focusses, such
as:
•   Physical fitness | Nutritional focus

Also a new focus of popularity of current lesser known
health focuses. With this new drive, these health call outs
may become more predominant in the market:

•   Psychological health and stress relief
       • Foods which can effect mood                          As an extension for this greater focus on detailed health

                           Foodmaker’s flavour conclusion
                     Green Masala | Red Masala | New meal occasion

• The largest area of retail for Indian Cuisine is in the ready meal section. Foodmaker’s Freda data
  also shows a big presence within Whole Muscle. Of the Whole Muscle products that we captured
  in 2019, 32% came in with the Global Cuisine tag. Of those, number two on the list in regularity
  was Indian!

• Again the data suggests customers are looking for Premium, though with small and comfortable
  changes to the norm.

• Call-out Indian flavours seem to drive more towards the Gen X’s and early Millennials.

• Due to the volume of Indian based products in the ready meal category, in particular various
  Masala products which are aimed at consumer demographics across the full shopper range (some
  specially marketed as children's meals also), Foodmaker have identified the opportunity to create
  a Red and (slight change) Green masala glaze. To add a new Indian Cuisine flavour to the BBQ!

             Authenticity and Supply Chain Protection
    Adulteration | Security | Consumer Expectations | Global Impact
A growing area of concern post COVID-19 and into the (some may say) forgotten
Brexit will be protecting your supply chain from weak points of supply. This is
something that all purchasing teams will be focusing on, both supplier and customer
going forward.

There is also a secondary issue, which many won’t consider – the possible
adulteration of raw materials to create cheaper products to combat increase costs
post and during these times.

Foodmaker working on a collaboration project with the leading University in the study
of ingredient adulteration, Queen’s University Belfast

Through a controlled and reviewed system, we’re working towards a scientific method
to be able to externally verify the authenticity of all ingredients
Some results from on-going research

•   A Queen’s University global survey of Oregano adulteration showed 27% of
    samples were adulterated

•   28% of samples analysed in the UK were adulterated (82 samples analysed)
•   Research has currently shown high levels of adulteration in Sage; Paprika and
    Pepper in particular – we’re discovering more, as research continues

•   Food fraud costs the economy at least $65 billion a year globally

                          Progress Report we see a drive for more transparency of the
                          ingredient supply chain, and the implementation of
                          technology to reduce risk of adulteration amongst other
                          aspects. This is a global issue.

              As our NPD team works through the challenges of varying work patterns
              due to COVID, Foodmaker will be adding more flavours to these concepts.

              Please note, the applications in which the flavours apply to will vary. Your
              Sales Manager can discuss this with you to tailor your presentation.
