ife lunch 2026 uk food drink export (10/2/2026)Rosario Exports Exploring New Opportunities at IFE and lunch! 2026
Rosario Exports Procurement Manager Karl Price has been out meeting brands, suppliers and food industry professionals at two of the UK’s leading food and drink trade events during 2026: IFE and, most recently, lunch! at the London Food & Drink Festival.
For Rosario Exports, attending major industry events plays an important role in discovering new products, strengthening relationships with existing suppliers and identifying British and European brands with genuine potential in international markets.
Discovering New Brands at IFE 2026
Earlier this year, Karl attended IFE 2026 at ExCeL London, one of the UK’s major food and drink industry events.
The exhibition brings together established manufacturers, emerging brands, wholesalers, distributors and buyers from across the industry, providing an ideal environment to see new product development first-hand and understand where the UK food and drink market is heading.
IFE 2026 also introduced a new Meet the Buyer Series in partnership with Food & Drink Wholesale UK, connecting participating brands directly with buyers representing major wholesale groups including Booker, National Buying Consortium, Sugro and The Wholesale Group.
That focus on creating commercially meaningful connections closely reflects our own approach at Rosario Exports.
When we meet a new brand, we are not simply looking at whether the product works within the UK. We also consider how it could perform internationally.
Shelf life, packaging, pricing, market positioning, consumer appeal and suitability for different retail channels all play a part when assessing whether a product could succeed within our worldwide customer network.
From IFE to lunch! 2026
Karl returned to ExCeL London in September for lunch! 2026, part of the newly created London Food & Drink Festival.
The event brought together hundreds of exhibitors across food, drink and related sectors, with brands ranging from established household names to innovative businesses introducing products to the market.
For our procurement team, that mix is particularly valuable.
Rosario Exports already works with a broad portfolio of recognised British and European brands, but we are constantly looking for something new. Emerging categories, changing consumer tastes and innovative product formats can create significant opportunities within international retail.
Trade events allow us to meet the people behind those products directly, understand their ambitions and discuss where international distribution could form part of their future growth.
Exploring What’s New in UK Food & Drink
One of the biggest advantages of attending events such as IFE and lunch! is the opportunity to see an enormous range of products in one place.
During his visits, Karl met with brands from across the food and drink industry and explored products spanning soft drinks, functional beverages, snacks, health foods, confectionery, children’s products and more.
Some were familiar names with new ranges and formats, while others were emerging brands looking to establish themselves within the UK and international markets.
Take a look through some of the brands and products that caught our attention at IFE and lunch!
Looking at UK Products Through an Export Lens
A product performing well in the UK does not automatically make it suitable for export.
Our experience supplying customers across international markets means we look at products differently. We consider where a range could fit, which markets may respond to it and whether the practical requirements of international distribution can be met.
This can mean introducing an established British brand to a new territory, helping an emerging manufacturer begin its export journey or identifying a specific product that meets the requirements of one of our existing customers.
Trade shows give us the opportunity to start those conversations directly with the people behind the brands.
Looking at UK Products Through an Export Lens
If you met Karl at IFE or lunch! 2026, or you are a UK or European food and drink brand looking to develop your international sales, we would be pleased to hear from you.
Rosario Exports specialises in the consolidation and export of British and European FMCG, working with manufacturers, brand owners, distributors and retailers around the world.
With access to more than 20,000 products and over two decades of export experience, we help connect great brands with international markets.

Mars Frappe Export (9/1/2026)Mars Expands Its Frappe Range
New Galaxy flavours join Mars Frappe and Snickers Frappe, now available for export through Rosario Exports
Mars is expanding its café-inspired drinks offering with new additions to its frappe range. As a result, retailers and consumers have more ways to enjoy some of the company’s best-known brands in a chilled drink format.
The latest launches include Galaxy Vanilla Frappe and Galaxy Strawberries & Cream Frappe. Alongside these, Mars Frappe and Snickers Frappe are now available for export through Rosario Exports.
Galaxy Adds Two New Frappe Flavours
Mars Drinks & Treats launched the Galaxy Frappe range in 2025 as an easy way for consumers to recreate indulgent, café-style drinks at home. The range has continued to develop, with Galaxy Vanilla Frappe and Galaxy Strawberries & Cream Frappe joining the portfolio for summer 2026.
The new flavours respond to continued consumer interest in iced and cold drinks and broaden the range beyond more traditional chocolate and coffee-inspired flavours.
Both products come as frappe drink powders designed for simple preparation. Consumers add milk and ice before blending to create a thick, chilled drink at home.
A Growing At-Home Frappe Market
The development of the range reflects a wider shift towards premium drinks that consumers can prepare at home.
Mars has positioned Galaxy Frappes as an accessible alternative to café-bought blended drinks, combining familiar confectionery branding with convenience and an indulgent drinking experience.
The existing Galaxy range includes flavours such as Chocolate, Caramel and Mocha, while the addition of Vanilla and Strawberries & Cream gives retailers a broader selection of flavours and creates additional seasonal opportunities.
Mars Frappe and Snickers Frappe Now Available for Export
Alongside the expanding Galaxy range, Rosario Exports can now offer two particularly exciting additions to our international customers:
Mars Frappe
Snickers Frappe
These products bring two of the world’s most recognisable confectionery brands into the growing frappe category.
For our existing customers, this provides an opportunity to introduce genuinely new Mars branded products alongside established confectionery ranges already familiar to consumers in their markets.
Snickers Frappe brings the instantly recognisable chocolate, caramel and peanut associations of the Snickers brand into an indulgent blended drink format.
Mars Frappe similarly translates the familiar chocolate and caramel character of the Mars brand into an easy-to-prepare chilled drink.
Both products help retailers extend well-known confectionery brands into a different consumption occasion while benefiting from the strong recognition of the Mars and Snickers names.
Expanding the Mars Range for International Customers
The frappe category offers an interesting opportunity for international retailers. It combines several established consumer trends, including indulgent treats, recognised confectionery brands and café-style drinks. In addition, consumers can prepare the drinks conveniently at home.
The expanding Mars range now gives overseas retailers the opportunity to offer a selection that includesGalaxy Chocolate Frappe
Galaxy Caramel Frappe, Galaxy Mocha Frappe, Galaxy Vanilla Frappe, Galaxy Strawberries & Cream Frappe, Mars Frappe & Snickers Frappe
Many Rosario Exports customers already purchase Mars confectionery and drinking chocolate products. As a result, the new frappe range offers an easy way to expand their existing Mars selection.
Interested in Mars Frappe Export?
Rosario Exports supplies British and European FMCG products to retailers, wholesalers and distributors around the world.
With Mars Frappe, Snickers Frappe and the expanding Galaxy Frappe range now available for export, international customers can add these latest launches alongside their existing Mars product requirements.

Two years on (8/6/2026)Two Years of Export Consolidation in Liverpool
How bringing our warehouse operations in-house strengthened quality control, flexibility and international shipment preparation.
Two Years of Export Consolidation from Our Liverpool Warehouse
Two years ago, Rosario Exports took an important step forward by moving into our own warehouse in Liverpool.
Before the move, we relied on contract warehousing to store, handle and dispatch products. That model supported the business for many years. However, as Rosario Exports continued to grow, we wanted greater control over our day-to-day operations and the export consolidation services we provide.
Bringing Our Warehouse Operations In-House
Operating our own warehouse allowed us to take direct responsibility for every stage of the process.
From receiving and inspecting stock to order preparation, pallet building and container loading, we gained greater control, flexibility and visibility. This has helped us strengthen quality standards while improving the way we manage complex export consolidation orders.
For many of our customers, a single shipment can include products sourced from multiple British and European suppliers. Our warehouse allows these goods to be received, checked, stored and combined into one consolidated export shipment.
Building a Warehouse Around Our Customers
When we first received the keys, the warehouse was little more than an empty shell.
Since then, we have installed racking, invested in warehouse and handling equipment, expanded our operational capabilities and created a facility that supports the standards expected by our customers and brand partners.
Bringing these operations in-house has also allowed our team to respond more quickly when orders change, additional products arrive or shipments require specific preparation.
This flexibility is particularly important within export consolidation, where products from different suppliers must often be coordinated within tight shipping deadlines.
More Than a Storage Facility
Over the past two years, the warehouse has become much more than somewhere to store and dispatch products.
It has welcomed suppliers, customers, branded vehicles and new members of the Rosario team. It has also supported product inspections, customer visits and the preparation of shipments travelling to markets around the world.
The facility has also enabled us to support local charities and community organisations through product donations and collections. This is something our team is particularly proud of.
Looking Back at the Journey
The photographs accompanying this post show just part of the warehouse journey.
They include the early stages of preparing the building, the development of our storage and handling capabilities, and some of the people, partnerships and memorable moments that have followed.
Moving our warehouse operations in-house was a major commitment. However, it has proven to be one of the most important decisions Rosario Exports has made.
Our Liverpool warehouse now sits at the centre of our export consolidation service, helping us bring together products from multiple suppliers and prepare them for efficient international shipment.
We look forward to continuing to invest in the facility, expand our capabilities and see where the next two years take us.
Looking for an Export Consolidation Partner?
Whether you need to combine products from multiple suppliers, improve shipment efficiency or gain greater control over export preparation, Rosario Exports can help. Contact our team to discuss your requirements and find out how our Liverpool warehouse can support your next consolidated shipment.

When Your Warehouse Operative Loves Jaffa Cakes as Much as Your Customers Do.
Sometimes the best moments at Rosario Exports are not planned. When a spectacular McVities Jaffa Cakes trailer arrived at our Liverpool warehouse, our Warehouse Operative, Luke Murray, could not resist stopping for a photo. As a huge Jaffa Cakes fan, the opportunity was simply too good to miss.

Pepsi Cream Soda & Strawberry Cream Export (7/17/2026)Pepsi Cream Soda & Pepsi Strawberries 'N' Cream Export
Bringing Unique UK Pepsi Flavours to Export Markets
Pepsi Flavoured Summer Vibes
Pepsi continues to push flavour innovation with Pepsi Zero Sugar Cream Soda and Pepsi Zero Sugar Strawberries 'N' Cream. These distinctive drinks combine the familiar Pepsi taste with nostalgic dessert-inspired flavours. They give consumers something different from traditional cola.
Why These Flavours Work for Export
For international distributors, launches like these are far more than another soft drink. They offer retailers an opportunity to stock exclusive UK products that stand out on shelves. They also encourage impulse purchases and generate excitement among consumers looking for new flavour experiences.
Carlsberg Britvic developed the range to attract younger shoppers through bold flavour innovation and eye-catching packaging.
Distinctive UK Products Create Demand
Unlike standard cola products sold worldwide, limited editions and UK-exclusive flavours help retailers differentiate themselves from local competitors. Many export customers actively seek these products. They appeal to British expatriates, specialist retailers, candy stores, convenience retailers and consumers who enjoy discovering the latest food and drink trends from the UK.
Pepsi’s continued flavour innovation shows why these products perform so well internationally. Following the success of Cream Soda and Strawberries ‘N’ Cream, Pepsi expanded the concept with more dessert-inspired flavours.
Rosario Exports supplies genuine UK Pepsi
Rosario Exports supplies genuine UK Pepsi products to distributors worldwide. Our range includes limited editions, exclusive flavours and the wider Pepsi portfolio.
