Online Food Trade Shows and E-Commerce + Vegan Casein

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, food trade shows helped small and large businesses alike attract new buyers and customers. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about how food trade shows pivoted online during the ongoing pandemic and found success thanks to e-commerce. Since going digital, many food and beverage buyers have found it more convenient and saved money by attending online food trade shows. The team discusses whether the benefits of online trade shows outweigh the disadvantages and suggests that many people are still eager to get back to in-person industry events.

Also, in this episode, Sydney introduces the team to vegan casein from plant-based ingredients manufacturer Fooditive Group. Casein is a naturally occurring protein found in milk that gives it its white color, flavor and creamy texture, and it is also responsible for giving cheese its meltable quality. Now, Fooditive created a vegan version of the protein that can be used for a variety of applications from milk to creams, yogurt and cheeses. The team wonders whether the casein can truly be considered vegan, but is excited to see the heights this innovative ingredient will reach in the coming the years.
