- In 1998, over 7,000 new food and drink products were introduced to the British market alone - about 135 each week. Discuss with the pupils why so many food products are introduced. Ask them to find out how many new types of products are developed in different sectors of the industry,
eg chilled, frozen and organic foods. Discuss how long the products survive before being replaced by a new or improved version. Ask the pupils to review one food product that has been introduced recently, to discuss the need it was designed to meet, and to consider how far it meets those needs and its impact on society.
