Innovation brief ready
Cottage cheese is outpacing yogurt as a protein base in morning occasions across the Tastewise consumer panel, and the demand curve reads durable rather than a one-season social spike. Gen Z over-indexes on savory, high-protein formats that pair convenience with a clean label.
Move from guesswork to evidence-led food product innovation
The insight-to-innovation workflow your team has been missing. An AI agent brings live consumer demand, trend durability and audience fit together into a decision-ready brief, so every concept starts from where the market is actually heading.
Trend and whitespace mapping, built on demand
See the flavors, formats and occasions gaining ground in your category, and the open space competitors have not filled yet, before it is obvious to everyone else.
Durable demand, separated from social spikes
Tell a one-season moment apart from a trend that will still be growing when your product hits the shelf. Innovation takes time, so the signal has to last.
Audience and occasion fit, made specific
Know which consumers a concept resonates with and where it over-indexes, from Gen Z to GLP-1 households, so you build for the audience you actually want to win.
Decision-ready concepts you can defend
Every output arrives as a sourced, liftable brief with the numbers behind it, ready to paste into your deck and win buy-in from R&D to the C-suite.
Powered by Tastewise’s real-time food data
Recipes, menus, social and retail signals flow through a validation engine that confirms every trend before it becomes a concept you build against. Sourced evidence your insights team can defend, not scraped noise or a syndicated report six months behind the market.
The deepest food-data layer in the industry.

FAQs about food product innovation
What is the Product Innovation solution and how does it support food product innovation?
The Product Innovation solution turns Tastewise consumer data into the trends, whitespace and audiences behind your next launch. You set a category and a target audience, and it surfaces the flavors, formats and occasions gaining ground, scores each for durability, and returns a decision-ready brief. It is food product innovation grounded in real demand, not a hunch or a report months behind the market.
How does it fit into our existing NPD process?
How does it fit into our existing NPD process?
How do you separate a short-term social spike from durable demand?
Every trend is scored across social, search, recipe, menu and retail signals over time, not on a single viral moment. That lets you see whether a trend is one season or building toward durable demand that will still be growing when your product hits the shelf. Because innovation takes time, this durability read is the difference between a launch that lands and one that arrives late.
Where does the data come from, and is it a panel or scraping?
Tastewise draws on a validated food-data layer of 71B observed F&B moments and 1T+ structured data points across 38 markets, spanning recipes, menus, social and retail. Every signal runs through a validation engine before it becomes a concept you build against, so the evidence is sourced and defensible, not scraped noise. This is what lets you answer the “is the AI factual” question up front.
Who on the team is this built for?
Consumer insights and CMI teams use it for future foresight and to size the prize. R&D and product development teams use it to ground concepts in demand. Brand and marketing innovation teams use it to build for the audience that over-indexes. Everyone works from the same sourced brief, so new product development in food moves forward with one shared, defensible view of demand.
How is this different from syndicated reports or a research agency?
Syndicated reports and agency studies are periodic, generic and often months behind the market. The Product Innovation solution is live, specific to your category and audience, and built to score durability rather than describe a moment. You get decision-ready, liftable evidence in minutes, so product development in the food industry moves at the speed the market actually moves.
