Tastewise is my secret tool for knowing what consumers want next and why.

The daily new-product tracker for CPG, insights and innovation teams — new products, flavors and limited editions caught at the source, the day they are announced. The free alternative to paid new-product databases.

  • Catch launches on day zero

    Press releases, brand socials, LinkedIn and industry media are scanned every day, so a new SKU shows up here before it shows up in your category review.

  • From rumor to shelf

    Each detection is matched against major US retailer catalogs — see the exact shelf listing and buy link, not just the announcement.

  • Built for CPG teams

    Innovation, insights, category management and sales teams use the feed for launch monitoring, competitive tracking and whitespace hunting.

Frequently asked questions

Is FoodLaunches.ai really free?
Yes. The full tracker — every launch, description, source and retailer link — is free after a quick signup with your email and phone number. No credit card, no trial period. FoodLaunches is powered by Tastewise, which may contact you about its F&B intelligence platform.
Where does the launch data come from?
An AI pipeline monitors press releases, brand social accounts, LinkedIn and food-industry media every day, then matches each detected launch against live retail shelves at major US retailers to confirm real in-store availability.
How is this different from paid new-product databases?
Paid new-product databases are excellent, but they cost five figures a year. FoodLaunches.ai is a free daily tracker focused on US food & beverage retail: what launched, from which brand, with the original source and live retailer availability — refreshed every day.
What does the confidence label mean?
Every launch is scored high, medium or low confidence based on the strength of the detection signal — for example an official press release with a shelf match scores higher than a single social-media teaser.
Which retailers do you track for availability?
Detected launches are matched against Walmart and other major US retailer catalogs, with direct product links where a shelf match is found. More retailers are added over time.
