HOUSTON — Premium donuts, organic and ancient grain bread, and charcuterie flights are among retail food service concepts showcased at the International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association’s 2016 Dairy-Deli-Bake Seminar & Expo, held June 5-7 in Houston. Drawing more than 9,000 attendees, the 52nd annual event includes workshops featuring celebrity chefs and industry experts and new products on display across more than 1,900 exhibit booths.
Single-serve and grab-and-go items, globally inspired flavors and specialty ingredients remain on-trend across the dairy, deli and bakery departments.
