  • Country Crock

Country Crock® announced the launch of their Plant Cream, a new plant-based alternative to dairy-heavy whipping cream that can be used in endless cooking and baking recipes. The newest innovation offers a no-sacrifice substitute with an easy 1:1 swap with dairy, elevating meals to be more rich and flavorful. “Country Crock Plant Cream is a must-have, secret weapon ingredient to have in the kitchen. Its versatility and delicious taste make it perfect for vegetarians, dairy intolerant or plant-curious consumers,” said Natalie Cooper, Brand Lead, Country Crock. “We believe that once consumers make the switch, they will find surprising ways to enjoy it, including reheating leftovers, making ultra-creamy pastas, or baking a delicious dessert.” To celebrate the new Plant Cream, Country Crock recently launched the “We Defied Dairy” campaign. This campaign demonstrates how Country Crock Plant Cream along with Country Crock Plant Butter is made with delicious plant-powered ingredients, giving customers all the taste of heavy whipping cream and butter but without the heaviness of dairy. The campaign includes spots on Connected TV, Linear TV, and digital platforms. Country Crock Plant Cream is available nationally at Kroger and soon to be Publix as well as regionally in retailers including Price Chopper, Piggly Wiggly Alabama, Albertsons, Safeway and United Supermarkets

  • Keurig Dr. Pepper

Brushing off concerns about the potential for a recession, Keurig Dr Pepper is on the prowl for more acquisitions and partnerships. In the quarter ended June 30, sales of the company’s coffee pods grew by 10%, and carbonated soft drinks by 11%. In addressing financial analysts last week, CEO Bob Gamgort noted that in the 2008-2009 recessionary period, carbonated soft drinks and coffee were among the most resilient CPG categories. “These categories are true staples, with regular consumption behaviors and few direct substitutes. And they have the benefit from the trade down effect from out-of-home consumption to in-home consumption that frequently occurs during recession,” said Gamgort. One of Keurig Dr Pepper’s latest coffee partnerships is the reinstatement of a distribution deal with Louisiana-based Community Coffee after a five-year hiatus. Additionally, ,Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) recently announced that it is acquiring the global rights to the nonalcoholic, ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail brand Atypique from Station Agro-Biotech, a Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec-based company that specializes in the manufacturing and marketing of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages.
