With the World Cup now under six months away and hosted in the United States, attention is turning to the flavours that sit alongside the game.

American profiles continue to gain interest as consumers look for bold, layered tastes. Barbecue remains a steady influence, while Mexican-inspired flavours continue to shape new product development. Mintel reports that 48% of consumers are interested in authentic Mexican flavours in ready meals and seasonings.

GlobalData highlights Latin American cuisine as a fast-growing global influence, with TheFoodPeople pointing to chimichurri and fajita-style flavours as key drivers of savoury innovation.

As the tournament approaches, which American or match-day cuisines are you most looking forward to?

Today we are proud to share our latest Sustainabil

Today we are proud to share our latest Sustainability Report, showcasing progress we are making to protect our Planet, People and Product.

This day of release coincides with International Polar Bear Day, led by Polar Bears International, to raise the awareness of conservation challenges faced by polar bears, particularly impact of climate change on sea ice in the Arctic. It also marks the time when mothers and cubs are in their dens - one of the most critical stages for survival.

For us, this is more than a date in the calendar. It reflects our wider responsibility we carry as a business.

Through our five-year Polar Bear Project, we are taking practical steps towards a lower-carbon future. A key focus has been reducing reliance on diesel-powered steam generation. We are currently trialling alternative heating technologies, carefully assessing them to ensure they meet both performance and sustainability standards. Adoption will follow a phased plan, allowing us to maximise environmental benefit while maintaining operational resilience.

European cuisine continues to develop as consumers

European cuisine continues to develop as consumers look to refresh familiar flavours with regional herb and seasoning blends. Mintel reports that around 50% of adults across key European markets enjoy experimenting with seasonings at home, with interest strongest among younger consumers.

Classic Mediterranean profiles such as Tuscan Herb and Herbes de Provence remain central, while TheFoodPeople note growing demand for more complex European blends that support authenticity and regional storytelling in new product development.
