As the US becomes increasingly ethnically diverse and global culinary trends make their mark, Del Monte Foods remains at the forefront of food innovation. The company is responding with bold, new offerings like Mexican Style Street Corn and Southern Style Green Beans — spicy, modern twists on classic favorites. These new products represent just one example of how Del Monte is delivering exciting, flavorful foods that tap into the growing demand for diverse flavors.
Del Monte Foods’ ability to anticipate and quickly respond to consumer preferences is driven by its robust Product Innovation Teams, who work in tandem to spot the latest restaurant and menu trends, collaborate with culinary chefs, and partner with suppliers. From the popularity of bubble tea to emerging flavor profiles, Del Monte is always on the lookout for ways to introduce new products to its portfolio.
One of Del Monte Foods’ most notable innovations is JOYBA® Bubble Tea. The company identified the global trend of bubble tea and the rising popularity of the beverage in the US and introduced this first of its kind offering at mass retail, leading the way for bubble tea’s popularity to expand beyond specialty shops into consumers’ homes. The success of JOYBA has spurred further innovation within Del Monte Foods’ portfolio, including Bubble Fruit® Gel products, which capitalize on the widespread appeal of bubble tea textures and flavors.
With more new products set to launch in 2025 — including a line extension of Del Monte Foods’ bold flavor offerings and another series of culinary-inspired products currently in testing — Del Monte Foods is poised to continue driving innovation across its categories.
