Anna Johnson reacted on thisAnna Johnson reacted on thisSMALL BATCH (noun): Something crafted in smaller quantities with greater care and attention. Members of the ForceBrands team came together in Egremont, Massachusetts, to connect face-to-face, strengthen relationships, and geek out over their shared passion for consumer brands. The agenda: yoga, cold plunges, sauna sessions, lake dips, s’mores by the fire, and exploring Great Barrington. More than anything, the trip created space for new ideas, meaningful conversations, and stronger relationships. It’s the kind of connection ForceBrands makes a point to prioritize.

Anna Johnson reacted on thisThis is a killer condiment. On pizza, on pasta, on cheese boards, and my personal favorite - on rice with a rotisserie chicken. Both are amazing and offer very different experiences for different taste buds.Anna Johnson reacted on thisCarbone Fine Foods is moving beyond pasta sauce with its first permanent condiment launch. 🌶️🍝 Available exclusively at Whole Foods Market, the new Italian chili crisp comes in Calabrian and Aglio e Peperoncino varieties for $13.99. Made with 100% olive oil, the chef-driven launch aims to bring an Italian perspective to a fast-growing condiment format while creating new at-home occasions for the brand. 🛒 Learn what inspired the product and how it fits into Carbone’s broader portfolio strategy at the link in the first comment below 👇 #CPG #FoodAndBeverage #ChiliCrisp #ItalianFood #Condiments #ProductInnovation #WholeFoodsMarket

Anna Johnson reacted on thisAnna Johnson reacted on thisThere's been a lot of news recently on #emergingbrands breaking new ground in categories, getting acquired, and raising serious capital to disrupt big categories across CPG. It's not new at all, emerging brands have been taking share from big incumbents for a long time, consumers are looking for different things and entrepreneurial companies have done an incredible and fast job meeting those consumer needs. It feels like things are accelerating in this direction, not going the other direction. Not just in my categories, but in literally almost every category in US retail food. I'm so proud of all these companies and teams doing this. And the retailers like Target Walmart Costco Wholesale Whole Foods Market Sprouts Farmers Market Kroger Albertsons Companies so many others and UNFI KeHE Distributors who are enabling and encouraging this disruption. It's a high risk endeavor to start something new in CPG, and it takes incredible passionate people, capital, and serious commitment to drive this amount of change all at the same time. New Hope Network #expowest27 in Anaheim is going to be pretty incredible! I cannot wait to feel that energy and optimism again. This could be one of the biggest and most impactful gatherings ever, and that's a very high bar to cross.

Anna Johnson reacted on thisAnother big win team Carbone Fine Food! This mighty team of 39 is consistently delivering day in and day out.Anna Johnson reacted on thisWe made the list. 🍅 Carbone Fine Food is officially one of the fastest-growing private companies in America, ranking No. 690 in the 2026 Inc. Magazine 5000. Five years and 30,000+ shelves later, we're still guided by the same idea we started with: bring the standards, quality, and spirit of Carbone to kitchens everywhere. To mark the milestone, Inc. sat down with our CEO, Eric Skae to tell the story behind the growth, from personally tasting every batch in our early days and obsessing over the quality of our ingredients to the products, partnerships, and people that have helped bring Carbone Fine Food to a much bigger table. We've come a long way from the first jar. And we're only getting started. #Inc5000 #CarboneFineFood https://lnkd.in/eYJhddmhHow Spicy Vodka Coffee Creamer and Tomato Candles Turned This Beloved NYC Restaurant Into a $101 Million BrandHow Spicy Vodka Coffee Creamer and Tomato Candles Turned This Beloved NYC Restaurant Into a $101 Million Brand

Anna Johnson reacted on thisAnna Johnson reacted on thisAfter experiencing firsthand the incredible growth engine that is SharkNinja, I’m excited to share that I am joining The Farmer's Dog as Director of Customer Supply Chain! In my first week, I’ve gotten to onboard with some incredible coworkers: Yesterday was Billie’s birthday. Alfie showed me some new meeting rooms. Tito sat in my lap at dinner. Rigatoni tried to convince me to let him eat the cheese sauce off the table. Ruth— you majestic, fluffy goddess. … and many more to thank for sharing their time with me. The Humans have been great, too! We are building something great here, with a mission I hope to bring to more families: help dogs to live longer, healthier lives! Pic of our beautiful rescue, Birdie (sorry, Gus, will get you next time).

Anna Johnson reacted on thisAnna Johnson reacted on thishttps://lnkd.in/gUHPeeTy I'm thrilled to step into a new role as CEO of "I and love and you" pet and Made by Nacho My career has taken me through beloved brands that compete on real ingredients and transparency, from Bel Brands to Enjoy Life Foods to Hu. The ILY team built that same mindset into pet food years before the rest of the category caught up, and that's what drew me here. As the preferred brand for multi-pet households, our footing in dog nutrition remains strong at roughly half our business, while cat is where I see the biggest opportunity ahead. Premium options still haven't kept pace with how much people love their cats, and with Made by Nacho now part of the ILY family, we're in a strong position to close that gap. I'm looking forward to working alongside Michael Meyer, who is moving into the chairman role after leading this company since 2022, and the rest of the ILY and Made by Nacho team.
