Innovative packaging materials, closures and equipment help bakers and snack manufacturers meet consumer demand for safe, portable products, while reducing costs and addressing food safety, traceability and waste issues.
2013 has been an event-packed year for the snack food and bakery industry. Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery’s Top Bakers & Snack Manufacturers lists show who the industry’s major players are and what they bring to the table.
You will, if you try one from Golden Cannoli Shells Inc. The family-owned, 40-year-old bakery is rolling in the dough at its more spacious, 30,000-sq.-ft. production facility in Chelsea, Mass., to which it relocated in September. The largest national cannoli maker in the U.S. strives for top product quality and strict food-safety standards as well as to ‘just doing things right.’ It’s these and many other reasons that make Golden Cannoli our 2013 Bakery of the Year.
As more consumers shift their attention to the foods they eat in the morning, bakers and snack food manufacturers are redefining the breakfast foods segment by offering downsized portions that are easier to eat and are nutritious.
The frozen baked goods segment shifts into high gear with the creation of more single-serving product lines, healthier ingredients and upscale flavors.
Holding the lead in the sweet snack race, cookies, like other bakery categories, are undergoing a healthy transformation that incorporates natural ingredients, super foods and clean labels.
