Description: Want to cut through the me-too clutter on the supermarket shelf?

Listen in as Lynn Dornblaser, Mintel Director of Innovation Insights, shares an in-depth look at “innovation beyond borders.” Tapping Mintel’s global database, Dornblaser lays out how US food and beverage R&D teams can learn and leverage insights from other products, consumer data, and more.
