Foodmaker Ingredients - Summer 2021 Innovation “Discover an authentic taste of Summer” Global cuisine Traditional favourites Immunity and health benefits
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. y B e n n And Head of Culinary Development, Foodmaker

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 Ingredients field to fork… Cargill are also incorporating more technology in their cocoa sourcing. In the latest Cocoa & Chocolate Sustainability 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.
