Short-dated products have a limited remaining shelf life but are still suitable for sale and consumption within the stated date, subject to proper storage and handling.

Disposing such food is also critical since it results in an increase in carbon footprint, which gives rise to global warming.

    Baking Supplies to Fill the Gap in Singapore’s Home Baking Scene

    Before the pandemic, most of us had a (real or imaginary) list of goals that grew to unrealistic proportions without any meaningful progress. There’s no time, we sighed. Maybe next year, we promised. Coronavirus came as a rude shock, the circuit breaker stirring us from our routine slumber as we came to terms with life in lockdown. Suddenly, despite the challenges, we were all given more of something increasingly precious: time.

    One of the most evident and ominous effects during the early stages of the pandemic was the sudden shortage of essentials in supermarkets and grocery stores throughout Singapore.

Major players like Nestle, PepsiCo, Mars and Coca-Cola dominate the market, while countless other brands seem destined to scramble for what’s left behind. But what many smaller businesses now realise is that you don’t need to challenge the big fish head-on to rake in the profits – you just need to find a niche and excel at it.

Within this colossal market lie thousands of niches designed to meet the evolving and increasingly specific needs of modern consumers. Consider the beverage market: outside of traditional soft drinks and juices, there is an in
