For the last 13 years, IRI has published its New Product Pacesetters report, an analysis that showcases the ten best-selling new food and beverage products in the US.


In 2007, IRI said health and wellness “reigned supreme” and the analysts saw the trend as a “fundamental shift” in the way US consumers perceived food.


No longer were US consumers just looking at food as a source of enjoyment and satisfaction but as a means to deliver specific health benefits.


In 2008, IRI believes functional foods will “win big” – it will be interesting to see whether that prediction comes true.
