- Coca-Cola and Bacardi partner on RTD cocktail
The Coca-Cola Company and Bacardi have partnered to launch Bacardí rum and Coca-Cola as a ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail. The initial rollout is set for 2025 in select European markets and Mexico, with plans for global availability. The move is part of Coca-Cola’s expansion into the growing alcohol RTD market. James Quincey, CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, said: “This new relationship with Bacardi Limited supports our strategic expansion, and we look forward to the introduction of Bacardí Mixed with Coca‑Cola next year.” Bacardi’s CEO, Mahesh Madhavan, commented: “We are excited to bring together two iconic brands so that consumers may enjoy one of the most world’s most popular cocktails – first invented generations ago with Bacardí rum and Coca‑Cola – in a high-quality, convenient format. Through this relationship, we will expand our reach and accessibility so that even more consumers of legal drinking age can enjoy this classic Bacardí rum and Coca‑Cola cocktail.” Bacardí Mixed with Coca‑Cola RTD packaging will feature both companies' logos, with a focus on promoting responsible drinking. The drink’s ABV will be around 5%, though this may vary by region. #CocaCola #Bacardi
- Costa Coffee and Podback launch in-store coffee pod recycling trial
Costa Coffee has launched a trial collaboration with Podback, a UK coffee pod recycling service, to offer pod recycling at 142 stores across the UK. During the trial, customers can collect free Podback recycling bags from all 133 Costa Coffee stores within Tesco locations and nine Costa stores in the Swindon area. Once full, bags can be returned to the same stores for recycling. The scheme accepts both plastic and aluminium pods from Podback member brands, including Costa pods for Nespresso, Tassimo and Nescafe Dolce Gusto machines. Podback-branded recycling points have also been installed in participating Tesco stores "to make it even easier to spot opportunities to recycle pods," said the coffee chain giant. The new recycling points were introduced in August, expanding Costa Coffee's existing pod recycling programme. Costa Coffee and Podback aim to collect more pods for recycling through specialist facilities, where materials can be separated and processed for reuse. Costa is the first UK coffee chain to work with Podback on customer-facing pod recycling points. Rick Hindley, executive director of Podback, said: “This trial gives Podback customers the opportunity to drop off their used pods at local Costa Coffee stores, a response to customer feedback telling us people want a choice of ways to recycle that fit with their daily lives. We are excited to be working with Costa Coffee and Tesco to make this a reality in more than 140 locations across the country. We are sure Podback customers will welcome the new service, and hope that it is the first step to rolling out more drop-off locations throughout the UK.” Liz Higgins, head of sustainability at Costa Coffee, added: “We are always looking for new ways to make it easier for our customers to recycle our packaging. Through this trial with Podback, in-store drop-off points will offer coffee pod users the chance to conveniently recycle their pods with us – whether they are Costa branded or not." "The new front-of-house recycling units will be supported by increased messaging in store, which we hope will act as a reminder to customers when visiting our participating stores. The trial will allow us to gather valuable customer feedback and insights, which we will use to enhance our future recycling solutions for pods, cups, and other packaging materials.” Catherine David, director of behaviour change and business programmes WRAP, commented: “The trial with Costa Coffee is a fantastic way to normalise and simplify recycling coffee pods. Due to their multiple component materials, these pods must be sent to a specialist recycling facility. Now, customers can easily drop them off in any participating Costa Coffee store. Making recycling simple is key to success, and capturing trickier items like pods at scale is an important step forward.” #CostaCoffee #Podback #UK #coffeepods

- Collaboration is king: The rise of food and beverage brand fusions
In the food and beverage industry, collaboration is essential for driving innovation and staying competitive. By partnering with other brands, companies can share expertise, expand their reach and enhance their offerings with fresh, inventive flavours and formats. From cookie-flavoured sodas to soda-inspired desserts, these creative partnerships are redefining traditional product lines and challenging expectations of taste and texture. FoodBev explores the latest collaborations that are capturing consumer interest and reshaping the landscape of the F&B market. 🥤 Coca-Cola and Oreo collaborate for limited-edition product launch in Canada Coca-Cola teamed up with Mondelēz International-owned Oreo last month to introduce two limited-edition products in Canada: Oreo x Coca-Cola Sandwich Cookie and Coca-Cola x Oreo Zero Sugar. Oreo x Coca-Cola Sandwich Cookie features a red and black design with a chocolate Coca-Cola-flavoured Oreo wafer on one side and a red Golden Oreo wafer on the other. The cookies are filled with a creamy filling and popping candy, aiming to recreate the experience of drinking Coca-Cola. Meanwhile, Coca-Cola x Oreo Zero Sugar offers the classic taste of Coca-Cola with hints of Oreo cookie flavour, providing a unique beverage experience. Sarah Au, marketing director of cookies at Mondelēz Canada, said: "We are constantly working to excite our Canadian consumers with unique launches and surprising experiences. This time, we're taking it a step further by celebrating the newfound bestie bond that Oreo and Coca-Cola share, bringing a twist on two classics to our fanbases across the country." 🧁 Café Valley introduces 7Up-flavoured mini cupcakes Last month, US-based ready-to-eat bakery brand Café Valley expanded its partnership with Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP), with the launch of new mini cupcake flavours inspired by two of KDP's beverage brands. The new cupcakes, available in 7Up and Crush Orange flavours, were crafted to tap into increasing demand for innovative flavours and convenient dessert options. The 7Up mini cupcakes capture the drink’s original lemon-lime flavour in the sponge and are topped with creamy vanilla icing and finished with a dusting of crystal sprinkles in the brand’s signature yellow and green colours. Crush Orange Flavored Soda mini cupcakes offer an orange soda-flavoured cake, topped with orange-coloured icing and orange crystal sprinkles. 🍩 Krispy Kreme and Dr Pepper collaborate on football-inspired doughnuts In August, doughnut giant Krispy Kreme partnered with Dr Pepper to celebrate the upcoming football season in the US, with the launch of the Krispy Kreme x Dr Pepper Kickoff Collection. The series features two new doughnuts inspired by the iconic flavours of Dr Pepper, alongside a seasonal favourite. The collection includes: 🍩 Dr Pepper Kickoff Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut filled with Dr Pepper-flavoured frosting, with a blend of burgundy sprinkles and topped with a white chocolate Dr Pepper logo. 🍩 Buttercreme Goals Doughnut: Another Original Glazed doughnut, this one dipped in green icing, decorated with colourful sprinkles and a yellow buttercreme goal post. 🍩 Kreme Filled Football Doughnut: An unglazed doughnut filled with white Kreme, coated in chocolate icing and designed to resemble a football. This collaboration marks a significant intersection of two popular brands, aiming to capitalise on the synergy between sweet treats and football culture. 🔥 7Up unveils limited-edition barbecue condiment range In June, soft drink brand 7Up unveiled an exclusive three-piece barbecue condiment range in the UK, developed in partnership with Twisted. The collection draws inspiration from 7Up’s lemon and lime flavours. It includes a ‘Zesty Mayonnaise’, ‘Zingy Hot Sauce’ and ranch-style ‘Tangy Salad Dressing’. Each condiment, all of which are vegan-friendly, is designed to elevate UK summer barbecue occasions. Karina Carrico, senior marketing lead for 7Up, said: “Our range features three standout products...perfect for adding a citrusy twist to any dish...to bring the heat to any meal...and to add a smooth and flavourful finish to any food, levelling up every meal”. ☕ Coffee Mate launches cohort of food- and beverage-inspired products Over the last year, Nestlé’s coffee creamer brand Coffee Mate has introduced a variety of on-trend, flavour fusion creamers. Most recently, the brand unveiled its seasonal line-up including a Kit Kat-flavoured creamer made in partnership with confectioner Hershey, crafted to bring the popular chocolate bar to consumers’ cups, with an indulgent chocolate, wafer-forward flavour. In July, Coffee Mate launched a new orange cream pop-flavoured Duo creamer , inspired by nostalgic childhood memories and popular TikTok trends. Leonardo Aizpuru, Nestlé's VP of brand marketing for the beverage division and business unit, said: “This limited-edition creamer is inspired by childhood summers – with every sip, the sweet and citrusy flavour of our orange cream pop-flavoured Duo creamer will evoke nostalgic memories of ice cream trucks and hot summer days.” In March, the brand partnered with KDP’s soda brand Dr Pepper and introduced Dirty Soda Coconut Lime flavoured creamer, a limited-edition Dirty Soda creamer, designed specifically to accompany the Dr Pepper canned beverage. Last year, Coffee Mate teamed up with Kellogg to launch a breakfast-inspired coffee creamer under the Coffee Mate and Eggo brands. Coffee Mate x Eggo's waffles with maple syrup-flavoured creamer features notes of ‘toasty’ waffles, rich maple syrup and butter. 🍯 Diageo, The Flava People partner on Baileys Caramel Sauce In June, Diageo partnered with food innovation company The Flava People to create a new non-alcoholic Baileys Caramel Sauce targeting the foodservice and hospitality industries. The sauce, which combines the signature Baileys flavour with smooth caramel, is positioned as a versatile ingredient that can be used to elevate a variety of sweet dishes and beverages throughout the year. The Flava People, which has an established track record of developing innovative food products in partnership with major brands, says the sauce will allow foodservice operators to easily incorporate the popular Baileys brand into their menus. Bubble tea bliss The popularity of bubble tea – an iconic beverage that combines the refreshing qualities of a drink with the chewy texture of tapioca pearls – exemplifies this bridge between solids and liquids. In August, Krispy Kreme tapped into the surging demand for bubble tea, with the launch of a new bubble tea-inspired Blueberry Bubble Bliss doughnut, topped with blueberry icing, lychee-flavoured frosting and a scattering of blueberry-flavoured bubbles. Likewise, Hello Day's launch of Magico , a drink with jelly pieces, captures the essence of this emerging trend, blending the experience of a beverage with the satisfying bite of a snack. Describing it as a ‘combination of liquid and solid,’ Hello Day said the drink blends two contrasting sensations – biting and drinking, with springy nata de coco cubes dipped in a juice drink. Flavour fusions lead the future of F&B This fusion between food and beverage brands goes beyond novelty; it reflects a broader trend of experimentation and cross-category marketing that caters to adventurous palates and modern preferences. As these hybrid offerings continue to captivate consumers worldwide, they raise intriguing questions about the future of the food and beverage industry. Are these novel concoctions fleeting fads, or do they signal a more permanent shift in how we perceive and consume our favourite treats and drinks? The broader implications suggest a significant impact on consumer behaviour and marketing strategies, while also highlighting the industry's need for continuous innovation. However, potential challenges such as market saturation and maintaining long-term appeal remain. As brands navigate this evolving landscape, they will need to balance novelty with sustainability to ensure their products resonate beyond the initial buzz. #food #beverage #brands #partnership

- Sustainable water company BE WTR opens circular bottling plant in Paris
BE WTR, a sustainable water company known for its premium offerings, has officially opened a fully automated circular bottling plant in Clichy, a suburb of Paris. This facility aims to supply high-quality still and sparkling water to luxury hotels and gourmet restaurants in the city, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally friendly practices in the food and beverage industry. The plant, which can produce up to 1,500 glass bottles per hour, uses electric vehicles for local distribution and implements a reusable bottle system that allows each bottle to be washed and reused up to 200 times. This initiative is part of BE WTR's broader strategy to reduce its environmental impact while catering to the upscale market. “Paris is the tourist and gastronomy capital of the world,” said Mike Hecker, founder of BE WTR. “Offering a water product that complements the exceptional culinary experiences here, while also respecting the environment, is crucial. Our partnerships with iconic establishments, including luxury hotels within the Accor Group, highlight our commitment to quality and sustainability.” The Paris facility marks BE WTR's third bottling site, following successful launches in Lausanne and Dubai. It is noteworthy for being the first site to receive certification from French water authorities. With increasing consumer awareness around environmental issues, the demand for eco-friendly packaging and production methods is becoming a priority across the food and beverage sector. BE WTR has plans for further expansion, with upcoming facilities set to open in Abu Dhabi, China and Canada. The company’s rapid growth reflects a larger trend within the industry as brands seek to innovate and adapt to changing consumer preferences. #BEWTR #water #bottledwater #bottling #bottlingplant #Frace #automation
- Nestlé Waters settles legal issues over illegal water practices in France
Swiss group Nestlé Waters has agreed to pay a €2 million fine following a settlement regarding illegal water drilling and unauthorised treatments for its mineral waters. This Judicial Agreement of Public Interest in Environmental Matters (CJIPE) concludes an investigation by the Epinal Public Prosecutor's Office into the company's practices in the Vosges region in France. The agreement confirms that NWSE's drilling operations were regularised in 2019 and that there were no adverse effects on public health or the mineral composition of the marketed water. The company has since ensured that all operations comply with current regulatory frameworks. Under the terms of the CJIPE agreement, Nestlé Waters Supply Est (NWSE) will undertake significant ecological efforts, committing €1.1 million over the next two years to renature two local watercourses, the Petit-Vair and the Vair, and restore wetlands in Vittel and Contrexéville. This initiative will be overseen by the French Office for Biodiversity and aims to enhance the local ecological environment, addressing concerns raised by environmental groups and local stakeholders. Nestlé Waters' commitment to long-term ecological stewardship aligns with growing consumer demand for transparency and sustainability in sourcing and production. A spokesperson for Nestlé told FoodBev: "An agreement (CJIPE) has been signed with local judicial authorities in France. The agreement confirms that any outstanding administrative authorizations for our wells in Vosges were completed in 2019, that the food safety of Nestlé Waters’ Vosges brands has always been guaranteed and that treatments of a non-chemical nature previously used during the production process in no way altered the mineral composition of these products. It also confirms that activities comply with the regulatory framework in force in France and are in line with the authorities’ latest guidelines." They added: "This judicial settlement reinforces the company’s commitment to the local environment through concrete projects that will be carried out with local players". While the settlement has been welcomed by some as a step towards accountability, it has drawn criticism from consumer advocacy groups. Watchdog organisation Foodwatch has expressed concerns that the agreement sends a troubling message about corporate impunity. Ingrid Kragl from Foodwatch France, commented: “Nestlé has been able to deceive consumers for decades without the authorities putting a halt to it. The system is failing: companies can sell their fraudulent products around the world without fear of consequences and consumers are left in the dark." She added: "We want the competent authorities to do their job, to carry out more reliable checks and, above all, to comply with the regulations”. Nestlé Waters, which operates under brands such as Vittel, Hepar and Contrex has a long history of engagement with local biodiversity initiatives. The company has been active in promoting sustainable practices for over 30 years, but this latest episode underscores the challenges it faces in balancing commercial interests with environmental responsibilities. In a statement on its website, Nestlé said: "The company is pleased to contribute in the long term to better protection of the Vosges basin, as part of a large-scale programme that involves it with local biodiversity stakeholders. Its vocation as a mineral carrier commits it more than ever to operating sustainably on its Vosges site, in close collaboration with all local stakeholders." Refreshment has reached out to Nestlé for further comment. #NestléWaters #Nestlé #water #watermanagement #sustainability #France
