摘要:New food product introductions
in the United States declined
for the fifth consecutive year in
2000. The decline marks a significant
reversal of increasing numbers
of new products introduced during
the first half of the 1990s. New
product introductions rose dramatically
from over 10,000 in 1990 to a
peak of nearly 17,000 in 1995; however,
that number fell to slightly
more than 9,000 in 2000. The decline
represents a 46-percent decrease
between 1995 and 2000.
