KeHE’s 2022 Trend Predictions are in and “functionality collab” is one trend that is expected to be big this upcoming year. By analyzing consumer trends and industry insights, the KeHE® innovation gurus have seen the growth of consumers looking to get the most out of their products — one way is through functional attributes. Looking for that added benefit in their everyday products, from immunity to energy boosts, shoppers are looking for more from their products than just taste.

This month, we are highlighting several emerging brands that have added benefits or functionality in their products. The four spotlighted brands are a part of KeHE’s elevate™ program, an incubator-like program built to bring early-stage brands to the forefront for retailers to add to their shelves and for consumers to discover.
