The Winter Fancy Food Show is shaping up to be biggest and brighter than ever this year, with 1,400 companies set to exhibit more specialty foods and beverages than ever before. The show, taking place January 22-24 at the Moscone Center, has opened registration.

Phil Kafarakis, President, Specialty Food Association"Specialty food sales are exploding right now," stated Phil Kafarakis, President of the Specialty Food Association, which owns and produces the Winter Fancy Food Show. "We're seeing millennials and men emerging as key consumer groups, foodservice sales are experiencing impressive increases, while online shopping and retail serve as key consumer sales channels. People are very interested in high quality, great tasting food, and specialty foods offer both."

Thousands of new products from 30 countries will be exhibited in the 218,000 square foot space. According to a press release, companies from California will boast the biggest presence—with over 330 local companies represented.
