Making Functional Indulgence Work in Market

The Flavour and Colour Lab
4th June Session 2: Flavour Innovation with Wellness Driven Formulations

This session explores how food and drink brands balance indulgence and functionality when flavour and colour are under pressure from reformulation. Using real launch learnings, it looks at how taste, appearance and wellness cues shape expectations, where compromises are unavoidable, and what truly drives repeat purchase.
