A Practical Guide for Retailers Who Want to Turn Food Trends into Real Growth.
Our inaugural issue of The Forkcast is now live.
Built by the Lipari Global Test Kitchen, this first edition is designed to help retailers focus on what matters now: the categories gaining momentum, the shopper behaviors shaping baskets, and the merchandising moves that can drive trial and repeat purchases.
Inside the issue, you’ll find a sharp mix of insight and activation:
- Industry Insights on the fastest-growing categories and the metrics worth tracking.
- A Shopper Trends section focused on the rise of global pantry staples, with practical ways to improve shopability, reduce trial friction, and build repeat behavior.
- A Flavor Forecast that breaks down where sweet heat is heading, what profiles are accelerating, and how to merchandise for both discovery and conversion.
- Health Explorers guidance for meeting demand around functional, better-for-you, and globally inspired products across departments.
- Tech & Retail coverage on what’s next from smarter loyalty and freshness tools to content-led commerce strategies that can turn education into sales in-aisle.
You’ll also get recipe-forward inspiration tied to real retail moments: Lent, Cinco de Mayo, Ramadan and beyond, so your teams can connect trend relevance to merchandising execution.
The Forkcast was created for retail operators, suppliers, and marketers and built to make sharper choices, faster.
