Session title: Snackification: Snacks, Meals and the Future of Blurred Eating Occasions

Session description: Coronavirus (COVID-19) deeply disrupted snack occasions.

Immediate consumption, impulse and experiential elements were substantially reduced, while portability became the defining feature of category and channel performance. This report explores how the pandemic’s evolution will shape the future of snacking, with key opportunities and threats.

Session date and time: Wednesday, 11 November at 12.10-12.45pm CET
