I have tried a Truffle crisp worth $20,000,000 😳 I’ll admit it. I’m addicted to Truffle crisps. The guys over at simply roasted crisps have truly smashed it! They really are my go-to! But why $20 million? TIMELINE 2009-2019: A multi national CPG manufacturer spent 10 years and $20m developing a breakthrough new crisp cooking technology (50% less fat!) only to decide it would be too expensive to scale up. 2019: Technology acquired by Pilot Lite 2021: Pilot Lite launch simply roasted crisps 2023: Totally bossing the crisp/snack industry with tonnes of listings! Innovation 🧠 is super important. But you don’t always have to be the innovator. You can take innovation and execute it 🫡 #innovation #business

Whether it’s their Jacked Up Mac & Cheese soup, Creamy Tomato Basil Prego sauce, or Ghost Pepper Habanero Pace salsa, one thing remains clear—innovation is driving the present and future of the Campbell Soup Company. Since 2021, Campbell has more than doubled their innovation output with projections to increase it by 50-100% over the next three years. To fuel its growth, Campbell has taken a unique, multi-pronged approach by relying heavily on its internal team and focusing on core product lines. As part of this month’s IFT Spotlight on product innovation, Food Technology magazine learned more about Campbell's efforts, including adding proven innovators, supporting an internal incubator, and leveraging the power of artificial intelligence.

If you are not innovating, you are dying! Innovation should bring convenience, security to your customers and drive volumes for you. Innovation should also improve your efficiency and make your service delivery easier. I personally love roasted mealies and have seen a number of stalls set up on the road side. The places are usually not very clean and I can’t imagine stopping to buy a roasted mealie cob. With this kind of stall #disruptiveinnovation, I will definitely buy! #innovation #growth

I love foaming soap. It adds a level of luxury to normally mundane hand-washing. The same can be said for milk. Foam it up, put it in espresso and you've taken the coffee experience from that of mere caffeine delivery to a culinary voyage of delectable opulence. I don't even need to mention beer. That leads me to my next big product innovation... a foaming food dispenser for the dinner table! Condiments would be easy; catsup, mustard, mayonnaise, butter.... Now, think about how much better gravy would be if it was foamy. How 'bout lobster bisque? Just imagine the expression on a young child's face when they first experience foamed mac and cheese! Even solid food would benefit from this innovation. Close your eyes and fantasize about swallowing a mouthful of foamed chicken marsala, a Detroit-style coney dog... or a Chicago-style deep dish pizza! That friends, is the innovative thinking I bring to an organization.

When food service distributors decide to take on a new product, they usually go through a very rigorous selection process to make sure the product is up to standard...here are some boxes they will check... Quality and Taste: Does the product taste good? It must meet or exceed consumer expectations for flavor, texture, and overall eating experience. Innovation and Trends: Managers seek products that align with current culinary trends so they can offer something new to customers. Market Demand: Is there a target audience for this product? If they purchase the product in bulk, will they be able to sell it to their customers? Packaging and Presentation: Managers look for packaging that is durable and can withstand the wear and tear of going through a supply chain. #enterpreneurship #foodservice #foodandbeverage #distribution
