Anuga organizers identified 10 trends seen throughout the 10 segments. They were finger food; gourmet products and regional specialties; Halal food; health and functional food; ingredients; Kosher products; organic products; private label; vegetarian products; and products based on fair trade. Exhibitors are listed in an online database that can be sorted by trend theme.
