Wishing all our readers a joyful and well-deserved rest over the holiday season after a whirlwind of a year that saw the ‘snackification’ and plant-based trends take a trajectory leap into mainstream.

The year cemented consumer demand for more sustainable, ethical, clean label and healthier offerings; while CBD certainly made its presence known; and a raft of PepsiCo’s big name brands, like Frito-Lay, Doritos and Quaker, along with Kellogg Company and Nestlé maintained their innovation-forward strategies to be graded as the world’s most valuable food brands.

All things ‘free from’ also ranked highly among our readers, particularly news like scientists cracking the gene code to make gluten-safe wheat and the development of promising alternatives to gluten-free products.

But that’s just the tip of the BakeryandSnacks iceberg that was awash with insightful news, views, content and opinion across multiple channels. For more, keep an eye our for our two special edition newsletters rounding up the ‘most read’ and ‘most shared’ stories in 2019.
