The country has a long history of beer production and consumption, primarily situated by the borders of

Belgium

and Germany, neighbors who influenced their style.

In the 4th century B.C., “cervoise” (derivative of Ceres, harvest goddess; ancestor of “cerveza”) was the national drink of the Gauls. The word “bière” has been on record since a 1489 law stating only master brewers and “sworn guards” can use the term was published. There’s been a national brewers association, Brasseurs de France, since 1878. Today it represents 98 percent of French beer producers.

PepsiCo made crunch the selling point of its lower-salt Doritos in Europe

PepsiCo made crunch the selling point of its lower-salt Doritos in Europe

Compared with the recipe it replaced, the new UK Doritos recipe contained up to 18% less salt and 14% less total fat, and PepsiCo made enhanced crunch its selling point. For food manufacturers, the method matters most: choose the reformulation shoppers can taste, and test repeat purchase and factory consistency before rolling out.

  • 01Doritos took salt and fat out and gave shoppers a crunch they could hear, a sensible bet when 88% of Americans say taste shapes what they buy and only 56% say the same of healthfulness.
  • 02PepsiCo chose the crunch route while several technical paths to the same sodium and saturated fat targets were still open, so R&D and marketing were aiming at one target before the recipe was locked.
  • 03Moving a UK product out of the HFSS classification can reopen prominent retail placement, so a reformulation can pay off on the shelf as well as on the nutrition panel.
