There are always new and exciting ideas in the food business, and they either blow our minds or make us scratch our heads. Some new products from Campbell Soup’s Pepperidge Farm, Hormel Foods, and Fresh Del Monte are sure to get people’s attention today.
These include rolls based on Thanksgiving foods and dessert cups filled with fruit. Let’s look better at these cool and fun items that will soon be in stores.
Pepperidge Farm Gets Ready for Thanksgiving with Stuffing-Seasoned Rolls
Holiday Flavors in Every Bite
Pepperidge Farm, a brand owned by Campbell Soup Co., is releasing Stuffing Seasoned Rolls early for the holidays. The idea for these rolls came from the stuffing, a popular side dish at Thanksgiving.
They have the same sage and onion tastes as traditional stuffing. The company says the rolls are “one elevated light and fluffy bite” that captures the spirit of the holiday season.
Ama Auwarter, vice president of baking marketing at Campbell Snacks, said, “With fall coming up, we start to see a rise in demand for our Pepperidge Farm rolls.” “We thought now would be the best time to release this new product that captures the essence of the holiday flavors.”
Seasonal Items Are a Big Deal
Companies have been releasing seasonal goods for a long time, and the desire for them grows earlier and earlier every year. Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, and Tim Hortons all released fall-themed items as early as August because of the pumpkin spice craze.
Pepperidge Farm also got into the holiday spirit last year when it released Christmas-themed Goldfish crackers in October.
The Stuffing Seasoned Rolls will only be sold at certain stores for a short time this fall. They will go with Pepperidge Farm’s other new products, like the Brioche and Hearty White rolls. This will give customers more options as they get ready for holiday feasts.
Hormel Foods Revolutionizes Bacon with Its New Oven-Ready Tray
A Cleaner, Easier Way to Cook Bacon
Hormel Foods, known for making many different meat items, has come up with a new way for bacon fans to enjoy their food. Its Black Label Oven Ready Thick Cut Bacon offers an easy and mess-free cooking method.
The product comes in a throwaway tray with eight thick-cut bacon slices. This way, people can cook bacon without getting their hands dirty or making a mess on the stove.
The tray can also go in the oven, so all you have to do is put it there and cook for 20 minutes. The bacon will be crispy and wonderful. When you’re done, just throw away the tray; cleaning up is unnecessary.
“As a brand that has always been on the cutting edge of bacon innovation, we wanted to make it easier for people to enjoy our signature HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Bacon,” said Aly Sill, senior brand manager of Hormel Black Label. “Our Oven Safe Tray gives you eight perfectly cooked slices every time.”
Growing Interest in Bacon
Many still like bacon on its own and as an addition to many other foods. According to Grand View Research, the bacon market was expected to be worth more than $70 billion in 2023 and grow 2.7% annually until 2030.
Hormel’s newest product is part of a larger plan to bring new ideas to the bacon market. Last month, the brand teamed up with General Mills’ Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal to release bacon mixed with Cinnadust. This sweet and spicy combination will surely please foodies who like to try new things.
Hormel plans to make the Oven Ready Bacon available in more places in 2025, even though it is only available in a few places. People are always looking for better ways to eat their favorite foods, so this new item could be a big hit.
Fresh Del Monte Brings Fruit to Dessert with New Pudding Cups
Sweet Treats with a Healthy Twist
With its new product, Del Monte Dessert Pudding Cups, Fresh Del Monte, known for its fresh fruit, is now making desserts.
You can make these sweet treats with chocolate or vanilla pudding, fresh fruit, whipped topping, and different toppings like chocolate chips, graham crackers, and granola.
The pudding cups come in four tasty flavors: Mango Mix, Chocolate Berry Truffle, Pineapple Streusel, and Apple Crisp. Fresh Del Monte says these treats are great as a snack after a meal or on the go.
Meeting the Needs of Customers for Healthier Desserts
Del Monte is taking advantage of a growing trend: people want healthy desserts, especially ones made with fresh fruits. The brand used information from Future Market Insights that showed more people want healthy desserts and that North America is the biggest market for these treats.
Fresh Del Monte wants to meet the needs of its customers at all times of the day by offering more ready-to-eat packed foods.
Last month, the company released a line of overnight oats in flavors like apples and walnuts, blueberries and almonds, pineapple, mango, and coconut. They also made new treat pudding cups.
