The newly launched [On The Go](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifeline-canada) Tuna [Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-simply-avocado-pots) by [John West](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-powered-tuna-salads) are packed with 18 grams or more of natural protein, and they are offered in a range of flavors and carbohydrate options. With varieties like the Chilli & Garlic Mediterranean Tuna Cous Cous Pot, the Indian Tuna Rice Pot in Biryani Curry and other choices with globally inspired flavors, consumers get to experience familiar tastes in a new way.

With this new range, John West is taking on a category that's heavily dominated by noodles and perceived as unhealthy. Specifically, the On The Go Tuna Pots speak to "younger, health-conscious shoppers looking for tasty and high-quality products that fit into a busy lifestyle."

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **High-protein Convenience Food:** The trend of offering healthy and convenient meal options with a high protein content will continue to rise, as more health-conscious consumers seek quick meal solutions without sacrificing nutrition.
- **Globally Inspired Flavor Profiles:** As consumers become more adventurous with their taste preferences, food companies will continue to offer globally inspired flavor profiles for their convenience food products to cater to diverse palates.
- **Diversification of Convenience Food Options:** Food companies will continue to innovate by diversifying their offerings for convenience food options, moving away from traditional noodle-based meals to protein-packed alternatives like Tuna Pots.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Convenience Food Industry:** There is a significant disruptive innovation opportunity within the convenience food industry to offer healthier yet convenient food options that cater to the growing number of health-conscious consumers, particularly millennials.
- **Ready-to-eat Meal Industry:** Ready-to-eat meal companies can innovate by incorporating globally inspired flavors and high-protein options in their product lines to differentiate themselves from competitors and appeal to an increasingly diverse consumer base.
- **Canned Food Industry:** The canned food industry can capitalize on the trend of portable, high-protein meals by creating ready-to-eat canned meals that are both nutritious and convenient, perfect for on-the-go consumers who desire healthy meal options without having to cook or prepare food.
