亚伦手：欢迎来到Take Five with ProFood World。I'm Aaron Hand, Editor-in-Chief ofProfood世界。
So last week our whole team was out atPACK EXPO Las Vegas。什么是令人难以置信的成功,富有成效的。它was so great to see everybody in person again, see the equipment running, learn about the latest technologies and innovations. We actually had more than 23,000 attendees looking at over 1,500 exhibitors, in something like 740,000 square feet of exhibit space. So I hope you were one of those that made it out there, but if not, we've got some great video segments for you here today.
So in today's session, I would like to focus on our innovation stages. So PMMI Media Group's Kim Overstreet was able to catch up with a couple of our presenters after their presentations. Let's take a listen in.
David Walsh: Now, consumers more than ever, especially through COVID-19, are looking for added benefits with their snacks. So more functional ingredients, things that will give them an added health benefit. So added vitamins, minerals, things like that. But one of the trends we see as emerging is the functional snacks around gut health and digestive health, which is where probiotics and prebiotics are coming from. A lot of consumers don't know too much about their gut health as of yet, but it's an emerging trend and one with big opportunity for the snack category, especially because it's an easy plugin for the snacks.
So things that will help their digestive system and contribute to their overall health, which they're more focused on now than ever before through COVID. So things like collagen and probiotics and things like protein bars and probiotic seasoning on chips and things like that. They really add that that function the consumers are looking for.
Kim Overstreet：您看到来自新兴公司或大公司的人吗？他们已经在市场上了吗？
大卫·沃尔什（David Walsh）：是的，两者兼而有之。我要说的是，特别是对于小吃类别，有很多新兴和企业家创业公司正在爆炸到现场，这些公司非常快速地满足消费者的需求。但是，在大型公司方面，他们确实通过孵化器和收购和收购一些初创公司的东西来对该领域进行大量投资，从而通过投资来促进他们的增长并确保其增长。因此，从双方，您的创业公司和大方面也有点有点。
戴维·沃尔什（David Walsh）：然后在创业方面，他们真的很依赖共同制造，这是我们空间的巨大趋势。因此，可能是一些传统的小吃公司正在改变其产品组合，并真正与那些创业初创公司合作，以扩大对消费者的影响力。
Austin Lowder: So I talked about a few applications that we've seen really explode in the past year or so, partially due to the pandemic, but also just because it was all trending that way, and in many cases, the pandemic kind of exacerbated that. So I talked about health shots or immune-based products that are geared towards consumers' perceptions of healthiness and maintaining healthiness, which are well-suited to HVP because they typically are fruit-based products, juices that the HVP has long been used for.
Austin Lowder: I also talked about emerging plant-based sectors and expansion of current plant-based sectors as well to be more clean label focused, getting rid of potentially undesirable ingredients like chemical preservatives, and HVP's a great alternative to removing those.
Aaron Hand: Another innovation stage presentation I'd like to share with you comes from Bumble Bee Seafood and RA Jones talking about the CPG's efforts in making their packaging system more sustainable. So Jim Chrzan, Vice President of Content for us, managed to catch up with them and talked to them a little bit about some highlights.
吉姆·克尔赞（Jim Chrzan）：因此，这个演讲确实围绕着大黄蜂的一个很大的变化。您曾说过，您的收缩包装设备正在老化，您想为客户找到更好的解决方案，尤其是可持续性。
Leslie Hushka: Yeah, we really wanted to tie this to our overall corporate goals and to really ensure that all of our packaging was readily recyclable by the consumer. So in replacing this equipment, we looked at a number of different options and really through our partnership with RA Jones have come up with a new paper board container for our multiplex.
吉姆·克尔赞：图形也很不错。杰夫（Jeff），与PMMI和OEMS合作的一件事是，每个人都在谈论更快地接近CPG以更好地合作。听起来您已经为此努力了一段时间。
杰夫·温特林（Jeff Wintring）：是的。那是完全正确的。我们试图用我们的CPG做到这一点。我们与Bumblebee的关系始于2019年11月，我们与他们合作并创建了解决方案。最终，他们选择了我们，然后我们为他们生产了机器。
Jim Chrzan: How exciting. Now tell me, you're going to have a ribbon-cutting in your booth later. Is that...
Jeff Wintring: Yes, at three o'clock we have a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Jonathon Titterton of RA Jones and Coesia North America, and Jan Tharp, President CEO of Bumble Bee Foods will be at the ceremony.
Jim Chrzan: Very good. And as we move into the future now, is this going to be the blueprint for how you do things for changing out packaging? What do you see coming next, for instance?
Leslie Hushka: Absolutely. We want to make sure that all of our packaging, 100%, is readily recyclable by the consumer. This package and the work with RA Jones will get us to 98%, but we've still got a little bit more to do.
Jim Chrzan: That's incredible. Can you hold it up? In really is. And also one of the added benefits, it's not just laying on the shelf sideways, you can stack multiple products up.
Leslie Hushka: Absolutely. So it can go with this orientation or in this orientation.
Jim Chrzan Excellent.
