The segment that has seen and will continue to see the most growth in burger consumption is travel and leisure, with 4.7 percent growth between 2013 and 2016 and a projected growth of 5.1 percent. Limited-service restaurants and full-service restaurants will continue to see growth in the burger category by 3 percent and 3.8 percent, respectively. As the burger category continues to grow, foodservice operators will keep finding ways to answer consumer demand for new products. "The things we're watching in the burger category (and with burger operators) right now include transparency, antibiotic-free meats, cage-free eggs and improved conditions for animals," Henkes adds. "We certainly believe sourcing antibiotic- and hormone-free beef will become a long-term initiative for many operators serving burgers."http://www.dmtsharp.com/mp http://www.meatpoultry.com
