Before developing products to match a trend, industry considers many factors. According to corporate chef Matthew Walter's experience, food manufacturing companies are looking to develop products that will be around for long haul.

However, trendy Asian foods such as Thai traditionally require greater prep time and shorter cook times to retain flavor and color. Thai tends to be more difficult to duplicate because types of cooking methods and large batches produced do not match traditional preparation methods.
