Success in the bread business hangs upon keeping current with the latest interests and desires of the bread-buying public. What ingredients are they seeking out, and which are they avoiding? Are they hunting for bargains, quality, or perhaps a balance of both when they peruse the bread section? How do the selections of different consumer generations differ?

On July 24 at 2 pm ET, market intelligence expert Sally Lyons Wyatt (global executive vice president and chief advisor, consumer goods and foodservice insights with Circana) will lead a dynamic online event, Breaking Down Bread Trends.
