PLMA 2017 Recap

The Fuchs team is always on the go! In mid-November, we returned to PLMA to meet with customers, attend educational sessions and share some of our favorite seasoning innovations from 2017. A team of Fuchs’ food scientists, along with Chef Elizabeth Landry, artfully crafted 8 yummy and on-trend seasonings in a variety of applications for the show. Among the items we showed were:

Shichimi Togarashi Jerky – Also known as Japanese 7 Spice, this jerky seasoning was a hit at both Snaxpo and PLMA this year. Following along with the Asian food trends, this seasoning not only works great in jerky and meat applications, but is also excellent on snacks like popcorn.

Mediterranean Pumpkin Goat Cheese – This item was among the most popular at the Wisconsin Cheese Show. Not only are Mediterranean flavors on trend, but with rich pumpkin notes, this seasoning is perfect for fall!

Senegalese Style Tamarind & Coconut Cashews – From our African Exploration Collection, which was released in April, this snack nut seasoning is vibrant and flavorful. Adventurous eaters and coconut lovers alike enjoy this tangy and sweet snack seasoning.

Berbere BBQ Kettle Chips – Also from our African Exploration Collection, our Berbere BBQ seasoning is spicy and versatile. From meats to snacks, this hot and spicy ethnic seasoning meets consumers’ demand for heat.

Caramelized Onion & Roasted Garlic Dip – Roasted Garlic was among the top growth flavors in foodservice this year, so it made sense for us to incorporate it into this dip seasoning from our Game Day Glory III Collection, released in January.

Chick Chick Chili – Also from Game Day III, our Chick Chick Chili Soup Base makes for a hearty and warm soup perfect for game day.

Chipotle Adobo Meatballs – Originally from our Latin Action Collection, our Chipotle Adobo seasoning has been transformed into a spicy seasoning for meatballs. In addition to meatballs, this flavor profile works well in a variety of meat applications, as well as snacks.

Kashmiri Spiced Carrot Cupcakes – Since our South Asian Collection came out in October, Chef Elizabeth’s Kashmiri Spiced Carrot Cupcakes have quickly become a “Fuchs Favorite.” This cupcake seasoning allows for a spicy ethnic twist on classic carrot cake.
