Breakfast is no longer confined to traditional formats or limited to one department. Today’s consumers want flavor-forward, global, functional, and emotionally satisfying morning options that reflect their evolving routines. From za’atar-spiced egg wraps and croissant-style kolaches to savory yogurt parfaits with cornbread crumble, the most exciting breakfast innovations are cross-departmental. Dairy, deli, and bakery are uniquely positioned to collaborate—merging flavor, convenience, and format flexibility to dominate the AM daypart. This session explores how the breakfast landscape is shifting and how to use category synergy to deliver bold, craveable solutions. Attendees will learn how to time launches with seasonal and cultural cues, optimize breakfast for grab-and-go, and blend global familiarity with regional comfort. Whether targeting health, indulgence, or all-day snacking, cross-category breakfast innovation is the next growth engine for the perimeter.
