Top 10 global innovations: Fake shark fin to sea cucumber

Malaysia: Imitation Shark Fin

Shark fin is a highly controversial food item. Hoping to allow consumers the experience without the guilt, Kami has created Imitation Japanese Shark Fin (MYR 11.88/£2.12) from seaweed, water and additives.

USA: Beastly Sliders

Despite their name, these Beastly Sliders ($6.49/£3.89) are made with 100% plant protein. Made by Beyond Meat, they’re designed to capture the taste, texture and nutrition of meat using a pea protein isolate and Beyond Meat’s unique Nutrient Blend.

Spain: Smoothie Mix

For quick smoothies without the fruit prep, Findus has launched Strawberries and Bananas for Smoothies (€2.05/£1.59). Simply pop them in the blender with orange juice or milk for a quick, healthy drink.

USA: Caramel Cake Pops

Forget Creme Eggs, have a fling with a cake pop instead. Described as a sweet espresso caramel cake for two, TGI Fridays’ latest ‘Frozen Flings’ are Iced Bite-Size Cake Pops ($4.99/£3.55) – perfect for sharing with your sweetheart.

China: Wild Sea Cucumber

The Iceland Wild Sea Cucumber (CNY57.80/£6.52) is a delicacy that hails from Icelandic waters and is processed according to an instant frozen technique designed to retain nutrients and taste.

Japan: Granola Ice Cream Stick

Dreaming of ice cream for breakfast? Ohayo has made the dream a reality with its Granola Ice Cream Sticks (JPY248.00/£1.29 for 7x40ml pack) with a strawberry, mango and wholegrain crunch.

Australia: Jam Doughnut Ice Cream

Doughnuts or ice cream? Now you can have both thanks to Big Spoon’s Gooey & Yummy Jam Doughnut Ice Cream (AUD3.99/£2.06) – cinnamon and vanilla flavoured ice cream twisted with raspberry sauce and doughnut pieces.

USA: Beef Barbacoa Family Meal

Described as the perfect solution for busy families, this Beef Barbacoa Family Meal ($12.98/£9.11) includes slow-cooked tender beef, a fiesta rice blend, fire-roasted corn, vegetables and a South West seasoning. With one step prep, it goes from freezer to table in minutes.

Netherlands: Lemon & Pepper Cod

Fish preparation has never been so easy, according to Queens Stoomfilet, which has launched its Lemon & Pepper Cod (€3.29/£2.56). This MSC-certified product can go straight from the freezer into the microwave.

Brazil: Protein Ice Cream

Protein is big business and the freezer aisles are no exception to this booming trend. Sottozero’s High Protein Chocolate Ice Cream (BRL23.90/£5.01) contains isolated whey with 55g of protein and is gluten free.
