Featured in this news Beverage Keurig Dr Pepper The Newsroom Keurig Dr Pepper has announced its 2026 product innovation roadmap, revealing an aggressive rollout of more than 35 new varieties across its carbonated soft drinks (CSDs), teas, waters, energy, and juice portfolios. Building on the success of 2025’s top-performing launches, the strategy doubles down on "flavour leadership," targeting specific consumer behaviours such as "dirty soda" customisation and nostalgic flavour preferences. The lineup is heavily data-driven. Citing its State of Beverages 2025 Trend Report , KDP notes that 72% of Gen Z consumers try new beverages every month, a statistic that has fueled the company's focus on rapid flavour rotation and limited-time offerings (LTOs). Capitalising on 'Newstalgia' and Dirty Soda Trends A key pillar of the strategy is capitalising on social media-driven consumption habits. Following the viral success of "dirty soda" recipes on platforms like TikTok, KDP is institutionalising these flavour profiles into ready-to-drink formats. Dr Pepper Creamy Coconut: A returning fan-favourite LTO (launching April) that combines the brand's 23-flavour blend with coconut, mimicking the popular customised soda shop serve. A&W Root Beer Float: A new convenience-led SKU (launching July) that replicates the float experience without the need for ice cream, targeting the summer indulgence occasion. 7UP Shirley Temple: Returning nationwide for the holiday season, this SKU validates the "mocktail" trend within the mainstream CSD aisle. Energy Portfolio Expansion KDP is aggressively expanding its energy footprint through both owned and partner brands, focusing on recognisable flavour IP and right-sized formats. GHOST Energy: New Formats: Debuting 8.4 oz. cans to drive trial and broaden consumption occasions. Flavour Innovation: Launching WELCH'S® GRAPE-CRAN and BUBBLICIOUS® STRAWBERRY SPLASH™ (Kroger exclusive), leveraging external confectionery IP to attract younger shoppers. C4 Energy: Rolling out Hawaiian Punch Berry Blue Typhoon (Circle K exclusive), further blurring the lines between CSD flavours and functional energy. Functional Hydration and Zero Sugar The innovation slate also addresses the macro-trend of sugar reduction. KDP notes that Zero Sugar CSDs are driving 6x more dollar growth than regular varieties. Consequently, all 2026 CSD innovations will feature Zero Sugar counterparts. Mott's: For the first time, the juice brand is introducing a Zero Sugar juice drink line , expanding the "better-for-you" options in the family beverage aisle. Bai: Launching Barù Blood Orange , tapping into the high-growth blood orange flavour profile while delivering antioxidant benefits. Katie Webb , VP of Innovation at Keurig Dr Pepper, summarised the approach: "Consumers want beverages that fit every need throughout their day... When fans rally this hard for a flavour, we listen."

Wayne-Sanderson Farms, the third-largest poultry producer in the United States, has promoted Aaron Leach to Chief Commercial and Supply Chain Officer and Michael Crump to Chief Operations Officer, signalling a strategic consolidation of its end-to-end supply chain and manufacturing infrastructure. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Wayne-Sanderson Farms has announced the promotion of two veteran executives to its senior leadership team, effective April 1, 2026. Aaron Leach and Michael Crump have been elevated to the roles of Chief Commercial and Supply Chain Officer and Chief Operations Officer, respectively. Both leaders will continue to report directly to Kevin McDaniel, President and Chief Executive Officer. The restructuring comes at a critical time for the nation's third-largest poultry producer as it moves beyond the initial integration phase of the Wayne Farms and Sanderson Farms merger to focus on commercial acceleration and operational excellence across its 24-facility network. The Commercial and Supply Chain Pillar The promotion of Aaron Leach to Chief Commercial and Supply Chain Officer represents a move to unify the company's "front-end" market strategies with its "back-end" logistics. In this newly expanded role, Leach will oversee: Market-Facing Functions: Sales, Marketing, and Research and Development (R&D). Back-Office Logistics: End-to-end Supply Chain management. Leach, who joined the organisation in 2005, possesses deep institutional knowledge of the merger's mechanics, having previously led the integration team for the Wayne Farms and Sanderson Farms transaction. His previous tenure as SVP of Supply Chain and GM of the Prepared Foods Business Unit provides him with the technical expertise required to manage the complex flow of a multi-billion-dollar poultry portfolio. Overseeing 24 Facilities Michael Crump’s elevation to Chief Operations Officer places him in command of the company’s extensive manufacturing and live production footprint. His mandate covers: Regional Operations: Oversight of 24 fresh and further-processing facilities across seven states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas). Vertical Integration: Management of live production and the company's 2,000+ farm partnerships. Engineering Strategy: Leading the technical and facility maintenance functions to ensure industrial uptime and safety. Crump joined the company in 2014 and most recently served as SVP and GM of the Fresh Business Unit. His transition to COO is intended to standardise operational rigour across the company's geographically diverse network of processing plants. Strengthening the Sales and Supply Chain Hierarchy To support the new leadership structure, the company has announced several additional appointments designed to align sales capabilities with supply chain execution. Reporting directly to Aaron Leach are: David Gadd: Senior Vice President of Retail Sales. Randy Meyers: Senior Vice President of Commercial Sales. Craig Watkins: Vice President of Supply Chain. CEO Kevin McDaniel stated that these promotions reflect the company's confidence in the strategic vision of its leadership. "With their deep expertise, they are well positioned to accelerate long-term growth and further strengthen our ability to deliver exceptional value to our customers," McDaniel noted. Industrial Significance and Market Outlook For B2B stakeholders and retail partners, the Wayne-Sanderson leadership shift highlights a broader trend toward "end-to-end" accountability in the protein sector. As the poultry industry faces continued volatility in feed costs, labour availability, and logistics, companies are increasingly merging their commercial and supply chain functions under a single leader (Leach) to ensure that sales promises are backed by logistical reality. By empowering Michael Crump to oversee both live production and processing facilities, Wayne-Sanderson is also reinforcing its commitment to a "closed-loop" production model. This level of vertical integration is critical for maintaining the biosecurity and quality standards required by modern retail and foodservice accounts. As the company enters the second quarter of 2026, industry observers expect this unified leadership team to focus on extracting further synergies from the 2022 merger, potentially leading to increased investments in automated processing technology and "clean-label" R&D in the prepared foods segment.

Bulletproof has expanded its functional coffee portfolio with the launch of Mood Booster Mushroom Latte, combining Arabica coffee with functional mushrooms. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Bulletproof has announced its expansion into the instant latte segment with the launch of Mood Booster Mushroom Latte. The product combines instant Arabica coffee, functional mushrooms, adaptogens, and MCT oil alongside an integrated dairy creamer and subtle sweetness. Engineered for rapid preparation using either hot or cold water, the launch marks the brand's initial entry into the latte format, addressing expanding consumer demand for functional wellness benefits and lower caffeine options. Functional Formulation The formulation integrates three distinct functional mushroom varieties alongside adaptogenic botanicals to support mood elevation, cognitive focus, and stress management. Key functional ingredients and active components within the product architecture include: 🍄 Functional Mushroom Trio: Combines Lion's Mane, reishi, and chaga mushrooms to support focus and cognitive health. 🌱 Adaptogenic Ashwagandha: Formulated with ashwagandha to assist stress management and balanced mood regulation. ☕ Instant Arabica Base: Delivers a coffee-forward profile, supplying approximately 50mg of caffeine per serving, roughly half the content of a standard cup of coffee. 🥥 MCT Oil Matrix: Incorporates medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil to complement the active functional ingredients. 🥛 Built-In Dairy Creamer: Formulated with real dairy creamer to generate a frothy, café-style texture when mixed with water. Reduced Caffeine Content A primary objective during product development was overcoming common taste barriers associated with mushroom-infused beverages. By pairing the mushroom and adaptogen blend with real dairy creamer and natural Arabica coffee notes, the recipe masks earthy undertones while delivering a rich, creamy mouthfeel. Formulated with less than 3g of sugar per serving, the product offers consumers a low-caffeine alternative suitable for morning routines or secondary afternoon coffee occasions. Retail Distribution Bulletproof Mood Booster Mushroom Latte has become commercially available directly via the company's proprietary e-commerce portal and on Amazon. A secondary expansion into physical grocery and mass retail stockists is scheduled to begin across North American retail channels in autumn 2026.

Living Things is strengthening its position in the high-growth functional soft drinks category with the launch of Cherry & Lime, a prebiotic soda engineered to meet the summer demand for flavour-led, low-calorie beverages featuring 2 billion live cultures and high fibre content. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Living Things, a UK-based functional soft drinks brand, has announced the expansion of its portfolio with the launch of "Cherry & Lime." This lightly sparkling prebiotic soda is strategically designed to capitalise on the rising consumer demand for "permissible indulgence", beverages that offer nostalgic flavour profiles without the high sugar and calorie counts associated with traditional carbonated soft drinks. The launch arrives as the functional beverage market continues to evolve, with retailers increasingly seeking products that combine proven health benefits, such as gut health support, with seasonal flavour relevance. Flavour Pairing and Retail Relevance The selection of Cherry & Lime was a deliberate move to balance familiar, nostalgic notes with refreshing summer acidity. Ben Vear, co-founder and CEO of Living Things, noted that the flavour was developed to be "timely, exciting, and relevant for retailers" during the peak summer season. By pairing the "nostalgic, familiar" taste of cherry with the "fresh, balanced" profile of lime, the brand is attempting to lower the barrier to entry for the functional category. The strategy assumes that flavour remains the primary driver of initial purchase, while the functional attributes drive repeat loyalty among health-conscious demographics. Technical Specifications and Nutritional Integrity Living Things continues to prioritise a "clean label" approach, ensuring the new variant remains compliant with the standards of the wider range. Key technical and nutritional attributes include: Microbial Load : Contains 2 billion live cultures per can to support gut microbiome health. Fibre and Sugar : Formulated as a high-fibre, low-sugar beverage with no added sweeteners. Caloric Density : Features fewer than 15 calories per 100ml. All-Natural Formulation : Utilises only natural flavours to align with the "clean-label" demand of premium health-conscious shoppers. Retail Roadmap and Multi-Channel Distribution The launch is being supported by an aggressive multi-channel distribution strategy, targeting both the convenience and high-end speciality retail sectors. While initially available via the brand’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) site and Amazon, a broader rollout is scheduled for the coming weeks. Planned retail partners include: Premium Retail : Harrods and Whole Foods Market. Travel and High-Street Convenience : WHSmith and Coco di Mama. Independent Channels : Local health and speciality food stores. The product is available in 330ml individual cans with a recommended retail price (RRP) of 2.29 pounds. To cater to both immediate consumption and "pantry loading" behaviours, the brand is also offering 4-pack and 12-pack multipack configurations. The Evolution of Functional Soft Drinks The functional soft drinks category is moving beyond niche health food stores into mainstream retail environments. As consumers increasingly substitute traditional sodas for prebiotic and probiotic alternatives, brands like Living Things are focusing on "sensory performance" as a competitive differentiator. For retailers, the introduction of a high-fibre, low-calorie seasonal variant like Cherry & Lime provides an opportunity to drive incremental value in the chilled drinks cabinet. The combination of a 2.29-pound price point and a clear functional value proposition allows retailers to trade up existing soft drink shoppers who are transitioning toward healthier lifestyles. As Living Things continues to scale its presence, the industry anticipates further flavour-led innovations that utilise "timely" seasonal windows to capture market share from traditional, sugar-heavy beverage incumbents.

PepsiCo has led a strategic consortium with Givaudan and Smurfit WestRock to sign a 10-year Virtual Power Purchase Agreement in Spain, utilising a "repowered" wind asset to reduce value chain emissions by an estimated 32,000 metric tons of CO2 annually. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. Featured in this news Soft drinks PepsiCo Featured in this news Flavours & Colours Givaudan The Newsroom PepsiCo, Givaudan, Smurfit WestRock, and Statkraft have announced the signing of a 10-year Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) tied to a wind energy asset in Spain. The agreement represents the first European renewable electricity cohort under the "pep+ REnew" program, a global platform designed to accelerate decarbonization across PepsiCo’s complex supply chain. By aggregating the energy demand of strategic suppliers, the consortium secured long-term renewable electricity at commercial terms typically reserved for large-scale utility buyers. The initiative was structured and delivered by Schneider Electric’s global consulting practice, SE Advisory Services. The pep+ REnew Aggregation Model Launched in 2022, the pep+ REnew program aims to solve the barriers many small-to-medium-sized suppliers face when trying to enter the renewable energy market. Fragmentation of demand often prevents individual suppliers from meeting the minimum volume requirements for high-impact PPAs. In this second completed cohort, PepsiCo served as the lead buyer, aggregating its own load with that of Givaudan and Smurfit WestRock. This collaborative framework allows the participants to: Access Premium Assets: Securing power from large-scale wind projects that require long-term financial certainty. Optimise Commercial Terms: Leveraging the combined credit and volume of the group to drive down pricing. Accelerate Decarbonization: Providing a scalable blueprint for other regions within the global PepsiCo ecosystem, which currently supports over 250 companies. Technical Efficiency through Wind Asset Repowering The underlying asset for this VPPA is a wind farm in Spain currently undergoing "repowering." This technical process involves replacing older, less efficient turbines with next-generation technology while utilising existing grid infrastructure, such as substations and interconnection points. This approach offers several strategic benefits for the consortium and the environment: Higher Output: Newer turbines generate significantly more electricity per unit, maximising the renewable potential of the site. Lower Impact: Reusing existing infrastructure minimises the environmental disruption associated with new-build greenfield projects. Faster Deployment: Utilising established grid connections accelerates the delivery of clean energy to the Spanish power mix. Impact on Net Zero Targets and Scope 3 Emissions The renewable electricity generated through this 10-year contract is expected to contribute to a reduction of approximately 32,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. This project is critical to PepsiCo’s broader "PepsiCo Positive" (pep+) strategy, which targets a 42% reduction in Scope 3 Energy and Industry emissions by 2030. Archana Jagannathan, Chief Sustainability Officer for PepsiCo Europe, Middle East, and Africa, emphasised that the agreement is a vital step in reducing emissions throughout the entire value chain. By moving beyond its own operational boundaries, PepsiCo is utilising its balance sheet and market influence to support the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated pathway to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Perspectives from Consortium Partners The partnership highlights a growing trend of "customer-supplier" collaboration in the climate sector. Willem Mutsaerts, Head of Global Procurement and Sustainability at Givaudan, noted that the agreement translates shared ambitions into tangible action, a core pillar of the company’s 2030 strategy. Statkraft, the energy provider for the deal, highlighted the scalability of the model. Hallvard Grandheim, EVP Markets at Statkraft, stated that the agreement demonstrates how companies of varied sizes can work together to help drive meaningful climate impact. This marks PepsiCo's second power purchase agreement in Spain, following a project that went live in 2023, solidifying the nation's role as a key manufacturing and clean energy hub for the organisation.

BERO has launched its Kingston Golden Pils in signature glass bottles across direct-to-consumer and on-premise channels in the US and UK. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Non-alcoholic craft beer brand BERO, co-founded by actor Tom Holland and Chief Executive Officer John Herman, has launched its flagship Kingston Golden Pils in a signature glass bottle format. The glass bottle packaging is available via the brand's direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce portal and selected on-premise venues across the United States and the United Kingdom. Marking the first US non-alcoholic craft beer to introduce a dedicated glass bottle, the release targets expanding demand for premium packaging across dining, hospitality, and home consumption occasions. Premium Glass Packaging While aluminium cans represent the primary format within the non-alcoholic beer category, glass bottles hold an established presence across restaurants, bars, and hotel venues. According to category data cited by the brand, glass packaging currently accounts for just over 25 per cent of non-alcoholic beer consumption, supported by consumer demand for premium presentation during dining and social occasions. John Herman, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of BERO, stated that developing a glass bottle was a foundational goal for the brand prior to its commercial launch. Herman noted that glass packaging provides an elevated tactile and pouring experience, providing hospitality venues, bars, and restaurants with a non-alcoholic craft beer format designed specifically for the table and bar. Non-Alcoholic Category Growth The introduction of the bottle format aligns with sustained volume expansion across the non-alcoholic beer sector. Global beverage alcohol industry forecasting projects US non-alcoholic beer volumes to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18 per cent through 2029. The packaging extension enables the brand to expand its addressable consumption occasions, placing non-alcoholic beer alongside traditional beer offerings across hotel minibars, restaurant tables, and home dining environments. Key product and packaging parameters for the launch include: 🍺 Kingston Golden Pils Glass Bottle: A non-alcoholic golden pilsner packaged in a bespoke glass bottle designed for on-premise and home dining. 📦 Direct-to-Consumer Pricing: Retailing at US$20 per six-pack through the brand's primary e-commerce web platform. 🏨 Hospitality Distribution: Distributed across selected restaurants, bars, and hotels throughout the United States and the United Kingdom.
