Grain Millers Shares Perspective on Emerging Food and Nutrition Trends
September 18, 2026
Changing consumer priorities continue to create new considerations—and new opportunities—for food manufacturers. Two recent Food Business News articles explore different aspects of these shifts, with insights from Grain Millers’ Darren Schubert, vice president of sales and marketing, western operations.
EXPLORING THE INTERSECTION OF GLUTEN-FREE AND GLP-1 TRENDS
In “Bridging the Gluten-Free and GLP-1 Trends,” Food Business News examines how growing interest in nutrient density, protein, fiber and satiety may influence the gluten-free category.
Schubert shares Grain Millers’ perspective on opportunities within the category, including the nutritional and functional contributions of ingredients such as oats, oat fiber, flax and corn.
UNDERSTANDING THE VARYING FIBER NEEDS OF GLP-1 USERS
A second Food Business News article takes a closer look at fiber for consumers using GLP-1 medications. While fiber can play an important role in the diet, the article explores why individual needs can vary and what that may mean for food and ingredient manufacturers.
Schubert joins other industry experts in contributing perspective to this evolving conversation.
