How do you go from having no experience in the food industry to creating a snack that is stocked by big brands including Harrods and Holland & Barrett? This is exactly what Daniel Twiss the founder of Soul Fruit has done. Soul Fruit makes new and exciting dried fruit snacks using the best quality tropical fruits simply dried into crunchy chips or chewy slices. Their flavours include fruits I have never tried - dragon fruit and jackfruit. Daniel shares how he and his wife took their love for exotic fruits fin Asia and transformed it into a successful business, despite having no prior background in food or retail. We'll dig into the perseverance required to break into retailers and online platforms like Amazon, how embracing sustainable practices and community giving sets their brand apart, and why focusing on single-ingredient, honest products might just be the key to winning over modern consumers. Whether you are already selling products of just starting to shape your ideas, this episode offers tangible insights into the dedication, passion and can-do attitude needed to make you product stand out in a crowded market.

I got to share more about Superfood Sprinkle on the BevNET.com and Nosh show Elevator Talk which just went live. Lots of great input from Mia Medina and host Ray Latif producer and host of the podcast, and it was awesome hearing about other up and coming brands. Although this isn't my first rodeo, I'm doing it differently and hyper-focusing on DTC and a grassroots play. https://lnkd.in/ghR7_TDG I might be completely counterculture, but in a world where everything is done behind a screen, I want to be face to face with people. We are getting ready to sell at farmer's markets, live events and doing curated pop-ups. I want to feed people, hear their comments, interact with them and know who they are. Ultimately, I want to create raving fans who use Superfood Sprinkle on everything and to me, that means more high-touch, high interaction involvement and that's exactly why Eat Cleaner had so many lifers. If you're a CPG person, would love to hear your thoughts on this approach. If you're a customer, I'd also love to hear how you like to interact with brands.

[New podcast alert] I'm happy to finally share something that I have been working on pretty much since the start of the year, and that's FoodNavigator-USA's new monthly podcast series the Founders' Fundamental podcast — your soon-to-be number one resource for the ins and outs of building a food and beverage brand! Since I started at FoodNavigator-USA, I kept hearing founders talk about either "focusing on the fundamentals" or "returning to the fundamentals," following the capital crunch of the last several years. So, I thought an in-depth discussion of those fundamentals would make for a great podcast topic. In this podcast series, I plan to interview investors, brokers, distributors, consultants, lawyers, founders who have been there before and anyone involved in making your brand the best it can be. No marketing fluff — just straightforward advice and insight that can help you navigate the challenges of starting and growing a food and beverage brand in today's market. For episode one, I interview someone who needs no introduction: Seth Goldman. Seth is the co-founder and chief change officer at Eat the Change, where he has been busy growing the brand's organic tea line Just Ice Tea. During the pod, we talk about his fundamentals, connecting with consumers, knowing when to exit the market and much more. I always appreciate Seth's great insight, and I hope you enjoy the first episode. New episodes will air in the middle of each month, so stay tuned for more! #FoodandBeverageIndustry #BusinessPodcast #CPGbrands #FoodPodcast #BeverageBusiness #BrandGrowth #Organic #Startup

Food and beverage processors are constantly on the lookout for a competitive edge that will help their products stand out amongst the crowd. Often, those companies look to new varieties, flavors and functionalities for their products, swapping out ingredients or introducing new formulations devised by their product development teams. However, as Todd Baker, vice president of innovation and tech services for Horizon Systems, explains, it cannot be taken for granted that the introduction of new ingredients into any facility will allow for “business as usual.” Processors need to prepare accordingly to avoid delays and disappointment when processing facilities get the new formulations.
