Last week at #ExpoWest our co-founders joined a panel discussion where they were asked about Kekoa Foods' Taste Training? program, what they love about attending ExpoWest, and to their "signature move" ?? ?? We're glad Daniel Auld & David Fullner are back from sunny Southern California. Now that they're done being ambassadors for the brand, and rubbing elbows with all the #CPG celebrities, we can get back to setting up and readying the incredible things planned for the rest of 2025 – stay tuned!
While at this year’s New Hope Network’s #ExpoWest, David Fullner and I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Asa Mckee at the #PitchSlam panel discussing our experience since Kekoa Foods won the #AudienceChoiceAward last year. We discussed our new program, Taste Training?, the amazing community in CPG that make up the attendees at Expo, and, maybe, Asa gently encouraged us to do our signature move, which may have helped put us over the top last year for the Audience Choice Win. ?????? The full recording is available on the 2025 Expo West Program site. Here is an edited version thanks to our amazing ad team Seasons Communications! ?????????????? Huge thanks to the team at New Hope and Asa for making this happen and a special shoutout to our fellow 2024 winners, Tim Richards of Philosophers Foods, and the Painterland Sisters, Stephanie Painterland and Hayley Painterland, all of whom we continue to cheer on as we witness their continued success! #ExpoWest #PitchSlam2025 #ChildNutrition #BetterForYou #NoAddedSugar #HealthyEating #NaturalProductsIndustry #Organic #TasteTraining #ExpoWest2024 #PitchSlam #ExpoWest2025 #PitchSlamFlip #TheFlip #FlipAndSplits #InJeans #CPG #freshideasorganicmarketplace2025 FDM Sales Sharon Fullner BeyondBrands BeyondCPG Naturally New York Ellen Werther Off-Piste Collaborative Alex F.

Daniel Auld, a Kekoa Foods co-founder, and Dr. Nicole Avena, a neuroscientist and food addiction expert with whom we've partnered to create #TasteTraining?, co-authored this piece published by the New Hope Network. In it, they discuss how children who consume added sugars are likely to crave sugar as adults and how high-sugar diets are correlated with cognitive and behavioral dysfunction. Nice work Drs. Danny and Nicole!
The main reason I co-founded Kekoa Foods with David Fullner was to create better, healthier food options for families. Today, I’m beyond thrilled to share an article I co-authored with prolific author, neuroscientist and food addiction expert, Dr. Nicole Avena, published by New Hope Network: ?? "Sugar & Kids: Breaking the Cycle of Sweet Addiction for a Healthier Future." https://lnkd.in/egNHJ6y4 In it, we provide actionable insights for the natural products industry on how to reduce sugar in children’s foods—especially added sugars—to help shape a healthier future. A huge thank you to New Hope Network for amplifying this important conversation. And to all the brands, parents, and advocates working to make better-for-you products more accessible—this work matters, and together, we can drive real change. #Grateful #ChildNutrition #BetterForYou #NoAddedSugar #HealthyEating #NaturalProductsIndustry #KekoaFoods #Organic #TasteTraining #ExpoWest2025 Ellen Werther Sharon Fullner Seasons Communications BeyondBrands BeyondSKU Naturally New York Startup CPG
