Functional food rise set to pull in drugs firms
Article Abstract:
Due to the huge rise in demand for functional food link ups between pharmaceutical companies and food manufacturers look likely. It could also see the entry of many new companies into the field. Manufacturers are likely to develop healthier versions of food products which already exist. Big companies like SmithKline Beecham could reap huge benefits from a food alliance. Leatherhead Food RA believes that it is dairy products which take the largest share of the functional food market at 65%. Organic goods are also set to flourish in the future as people become more aware of issues surrounding animal welfare and the environment. By 2006 the market could be worth as much as GB 6.3bn. *

Big spirits push is up to us, says UDV
Article Abstract:
As part of its plan to increase sales in the underperforming spirits sector, United Distillers and Vintners (UDV), the UK spirits group is to increase substantially its annual GB 20m marketing spend for Bell's, Gordon's and Smirnoff over the next year as sales of both Smirnoff and Gordon's have started to grow. However, blended whisky is slow to show any sign of recovery after sales dropped 9% in 1997. The group now has three operating units, with UDV Brands responsible for mainstream spirits such as Bell's, Gordon's and Smirnoff, and UDV Morgan Furze handling the so called "younger" brands including Baileys, Malibu, Archers and Jack Daniels.

Hot meals go on test at Alldays
Article Abstract:
UK-based convenience store chain Alldays and Unilever struck a deal in June 1998 which entails half of the former's Edinburgh outlet offering hot food. In a move which sees Alldays extend its efforts to create adaptable formats covering various demographic regions, the 3,000 square foot Nicholson Street store's Grab & Co cafe will offer snacks such as hot dogs, filled baguettes, hot dogs and hot soups. BT Alex Brown's Marc Duschenes believes that Alldays could offer the hot food format in up to 30 outlets based in city centres.
