Mintel International and Prepared Foods have had a successful, long-standing business relationship in which many of Mintel’s products have provided critical and often unique information for Prepared Foods’ own varied business endeavors.

For example, in a business segment inundated by events, Prepared Foods’ New Product Conference remains an industry leader in providing useful information for product developers partially through the decades-long participation of Mintel’s employees. Not only has Mintel contributed insightful speakers on trends around the world, but its retrieval service also gathers influential new product introductions for conference attendees to see and taste.

Mintel’s Global New Products Database (gnpd) contains extensive data on hundreds of thousands of new products going back to 1996. Just a few ways this data assists Prepared Foods’ include the ability to “fact check” editorial content and/or statistically analyze data on ingredient use, health claims, food characteristics and introductions by specific companies. High resolution, three-dimensional photos of most all new products globally allow direct interpretation of label information appearing on packaging.

Articles based on Mintel Reports enable Prepared Foods to provide a credible and reliable source of industry observations supported by statistical data and specific examples on consumer demographic segments and product categories. And, Mintel’s growing capabilities in tracking foodservice menus means Prepared Foods’ readers are alerted on the “flavor” of trends to come.
