Innovation is at the Center of All We Do
CONNECTING INNOVATION TO OUR CONSUMERS
We start by focusing externally, diving deep into data that spans everything from consumer behavior to store purchase activity to food industry trends. This lets us form an objective, holistic perspective of the market.
Seeing through the consumer lens guides our new product development and enables us to deliver innovations that are on trend and in demand — to ultimately give people what they want.
And because we maintain a broad portfolio, we can pick the brands that do the best job of bringing these innovations to life.
DEMAND POCKETS
We constantly survey more than 150 food categories, looking for fast-growing, high-potential sub-groups. And when we find one, we study it to understand the modern attributes that are driving its growth. Next, we design and tailor our products to include and reflect those characteristics.
REPEATABLE AND SCALABLE
In addition to rethinking existing products, we constantly challenge ourselves to offer new products in current categories and imagine the possibilities of what’s yet to come. Our scalable innovation model is designed for repeated, consistent success across our broad portfolio of brands.
