UK: TASTE IS PARAMOUNT IN MEAT-FREE PRODUCTS
Article Abstract:
The taste is paramount in meat-free products, and as the demand grows the emphasis lies more and more on manufacturers producing palatable texture and tasty products. Khero, a meat-free brand of Perkins chilled Foods, took several years to process soya fibres to mimic meat. However, the demand in meat-free products is predicted to increase, as more meat eaters become meat-reducers. It has been recorded that 65% of people are actively trying to cut down their meat consumption with regards to a healthier diet. Also significant studies show that soya has been recognised in Asia for its health properties. It has been discovered that by eating 25g of soya protein isolate per day can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, menopausal symptoms, reduce the chances of getting bone diseases, and breast, bowel and prostate cancer. However, at the moment it's the taste that will help the meat-free market to surge ahead, but its health properties are becoming more widely known among the UK consumers.

Chains channel resources into home-shopping
Article Abstract:
he expansion of a home shopping service by major supermarket chain Sainsbury's to 32 stores by September 1998, up from seven at present, will provide a major push for home-shopping in the UK. Sainsbury's is one of several major retailers to move into this area recently, with convenience chain Alldays and London-based supermarket chain Europa Foods both examining a home-shopping operation. Europa is planning to offer a basic service for a charge of around GB 2.50, with a slightly higher charge for express delivery. Sainsbury's, meanwhile, is looking at using digital television to provide a choice of home-shopping formats. A phone-in order system is being planned by EH Booth for all its 24 outlets by the end of July.

More UK products needed, says Bass
Article Abstract:
Greater innovation has been urged among UK brewers by Bass Brewers' marketing director, Mark Hunter, who noted that firms are preferring to purchase existing overseas brands as opposed to devising their own products. Speaking at end-July 1998, Mr Hunter bemoaned the lack of sophistication among UK suppliers which were just content to promote fancy foreign brands in the UK. A more innovative approach would allow the premium lager sector to maintain growth, Mr Hunter believed.
