During each session, Mintel's renowned new product experts, Lynn Dornblaser and David Jago, presented on the topics of Baby Boomers, Satiety and Simple Ingredient Statements.
The nearly 700 attendees at the Mintel presentations and tastings were asked to vote on their favourite products in each category and their results include:
Smartfood Popcorn Clusters from the US took first place in the boomer category. While being an indulgent snack, it also serves up some powerful nutrition, such as calcium and fibre. Tripl3 O Antiox Green Tea with Honey from Colombia and Kellogg's All-Bran Buds Singles from Canada took second and third place, respectively.
IFT attendees chose the EcoSlim Dark Chocolate Bars from Portugal as their favourite product for staying fuller longer. Kellogg's Special K Sustain Breakfast Cereal from the UK came in second place, followed by Barilla Mulino Bianco Grancereale Fibre Biscuits from Italy.
It was a tight race in the simple category. Pepsi Raw Natural Born Cola (UK) came in first place with its natural plant extracts and new pack design. In second place was Yoplait Simply...Gogurt Portable Lowfat Yogurt from the US, followed by the UK's Planet Lunch Squeezable Fruit containing 100% natural ingredients.
