As an innovation partner to global F&B brands, Kerry presents a tasting menu for Gulfood 2023 that represents the best from its team of scientists, chefs, and application experts, with concepts in snacks, meat, bakery, and beverages that balance innovation with local taste and nourishing ingredients. 

The Kerry booth will be in Hall 7, A7-4, at the Dubai World Trade Centre. From 7-9 November, visitors to the Kerry booth will get to sample delicious concepts, including: 

• Preserved lemon sparkler: a refreshing carbonated beverage with the distinct flavour of traditionally preserved lemons well-loved in the Middle East.

In a first, Kerry will be partnering with a professional concierge and service team from Evolvin’ Women to ensure a smooth visitor experience. A social enterprise, Evolvin’ Women provides unemployed women from less privileged economic backgrounds with industry skills and knowledge and finds them roles with partner companies.
