Why do most new food products fail, and what does AI have to do with it?

In this episode of the Bites and Bytes Podcast, you host, Kristin Demoranville, is joined by Andreas Duess, co-founder of GoCPG and CEO of 6 Seeds, to unpack what’s really driving the food and beverage industry right now.

Spoiler: it’s not just taste trends or fancy branding. Its behavior, data, and decisions are made without proper insight.

We talk about:

  • How AI is helping food brands try to understand real consumer behavior
  • The say-do gap: why people don’t buy what they say they want
  • How Uber Eats data, smart fridges, and strained supply chains shape product development
  • Why big brands are suddenly out-innovating startups
  • What GLP-1 drugs mean for food categories
  • And why rebuilding communities around food matters more than ever

Whether you’re in food, tech, or cybersecurity, or just curious about the systems behind what we eat, this episode pulls back the curtain on where the industry is headed.
