2020 will see consumers leaning on familiar flavors that invoke nostalgia and indulgence across categories
Kerry, the Taste and Nutrition Company, has released its 2020 US Taste Charts, which represent the company’s annual review of the food and beverage landscape utilizing sales performance, consumer trends, foodservice influences, and internal culinary and mixology expertise to predict tastes for the coming year.
As a leader in taste, Kerry is on a constant quest to discover and translate the best taste experiences from nature’s high-quality ingredients. Kerry’s predictions forecast that 2020 will bring the resurgence of nostalgia and indulgence across all categories of food and beverages. For instance, butters and dessert-inspired flavors such as cookie dough, cinnamon bun, s’mores, and churro will inspire sweets as well as hot and dairy beverages. Furthermore, meals-inspired nostalgic flavors such as grilled cheese, guacamole, wings, and pizza will bring an innovative twist to the salty snack category.
