In the confectionery world we are still reeling from the incredible amount of innovation we saw in product development for the Easter holidays. New research from Mintel Global New Products Database (GNPD) launches of new seasonal Easter chocolate products have increased 19% over the past 12 months, with the UK being responsible for an impressive one in eight (16%) Easter chocolate grown almost 40% over the past two years in the UK! Find our reportage on more of the latest news from page 6.
Our feature section continues to give you in-depth insight into the topics shaping the confectionery and chocolate industry, and this issue is no different: read all about the developing cocoa processing sector on page 14, the demand for natural sugar and sweeteners in the face of HFSS regulation on page 66 challenges on page 72.
I am incredibly excited to bring to you our interpack edition, with a bulging exhibitor section, it could not be more obvious that the industry is set to wow attendees with all of their latest developments in the processing & packaging sector. Putting this issue together has given me a renewed understanding and appreciation for the packaging world and the expertise that goes into the entire undertaking, whether it be from a food protection perspective with innovative an exceedingly exciting time to be involved in this industry, and the Kennedy’s team cannot wait to attend the show in Dusseldorf in May, as well as seeing and Bühler, Chocotech, Gerhard Schubert, MFG Tray, ROTZINGER, SACMI and so many more from page 22 onwards.
