Dairy foods are a core and cherished part of the American diet. Even as non-dairy alternatives expand into new territories, so do the animal milk-based originals, according to the Packaged Facts report 2017 Forecast: Culinary Trend Tracking Series.
Packaged Facts forecasts that in the months and years ahead, consumers will gravitate to products that display the wholesome characteristics of dairy, such as cultures and connections to animal welfare and farming traditions—elements that point to safety, nutrition, and sustainable food production.
Consumers will also continue snacking on dairy foods that provide protein, calcium, and probiotics to promote good health. To that end, more savory options will beckon from the dairy case, calling out to be eaten at any time of day and to be paired with salads, sandwiches, meat snacks, and savory munchies. Packaging promoting portability and portion control will make our busy lives easier, and allow for more convenient access to these healthful dairy foods.
With increased consumption also comes a broader array of flavors and styles of dairy foods, meeting today’s mandatory call for flavor adventure in every daypart, from breakfast to snacking, treating to entertaining.
On that note, here are five of Packaged Facts’ key insights for inspiring consumers when purchasing and cooking with dairy:
