- Rise in dessert-inspired dairy products (consumer interest in spicier ingredients with healthy reputations like turmeric and cinnamon, to elevate the flavor profile of dairy products as a treat or dessert).
- Large increase in non-dairy ingredients (1,086% increase in non-dairy ingredient claim menu incidence)
- New coffee flavors (turmeric, white chocolate, roasted coconut, raspberry, salted caramel)
