Kerry, the Taste and Nutrition Company, recently released the 2020 Global Taste Charts, highlighting what will drive trends across the world, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Brazil, South Cone, Central America and APMEA (Asia Pacific, the Middle-East and Africa).
The 2020 Taste Charts represented the company’s annual review of the food and beverage landscape utilising sales performance, consumer trends, foodservice influences, and internal culinary and mixology expertise to predict trending tastes for the coming year.
The company’s predictions forecast that 2020 will bring further specificity to the origin of flavours and ingredients as consumers seek tastes that delight, surprise and excite them. As a leader in taste, it is on a constant quest to discover and translate the best taste experiences from nature’s high-quality ingredients.
