News & EventsJourney Foods Partners: Kroger, NASA, SAP, and the World Economic Forum, What These Collaborations Say About Ingredient Intelligence

News & EventsFormulating Next-Gen Egg Replacement Solutions Using AI and Human Expertise, IFT FIRST 2026 Takeaways
Egg prices surged 53% between January 2024 and early 2025.

News & EventsThe Strait of Hormuz Just Moved Your Q3 Gross Margin: Oil across the supply chain
The Strait of Hormuz is 30 miles wide at its narrowest point. 20% of the world's oil transits through it daily. That's not just jet fuel and diesel, it's the petroleum-derived inputs running through nearly every stage of your supply chain: fertilizers, synthetic packaging, agricultural machinery, transport fuel. When analysts price in a geopolitical risk premium of $6 to even $150 per barrel, that number doesn't stay in the energy market. It migrates into your cost structure, line by line, over the next 60 to 90 days. Oils and fats, palm, sunflower, canola, are heavily concentrated in Southeast Asian production with direct Red Sea shipping exposure. If your formula runs on palm oil, the rerouting math is already baked into your next purchase order, whether the updated price has arrived or not. Spice and flavor compounds face a similar vector: vanilla from Madagascar, black pepper from Vietnam, cardamom from Guatemala all transit through lanes currently operating under disruption premium. The flavor house absorbs the freight cost first, then passes it forward. You're the third domino.

News & EventsThe Return of Real Meat: Why Authentic Red Meat and Less-Processed Options Are Gaining in 2026
The return of real meat isn't a rejection of progress. It's an evolution.Consumers still want sustainability. They still want health. But they've recalibrated what those words mean. "Sustainable" doesn't automatically mean plant-based anymore, it can mean regenerative agriculture. "Healthy" doesn't mean ultra-processed alt-meat, it means whole foods, short ingredient lists, and nutrient density.The brands that will thrive in this moment are the ones that meet consumers in their contradictions instead of trying to resolve them. They're the ones that offer both indulgence and values. Taste and transparency. Comfort and consciousness.
