Daneil Reyes

Daniel Reyes has always been more interested in how things work than in how they are presented. He came up through technical and research environments where the expectation was to understand a system fully before writing a single word about it. That instinct carried over when he moved into food journalism. He joined DailyRetale as the Food News writer because the food industry is one of the most consequential and least scrutinized beats in American media. Prices change without explanation. Brands quietly reformulate products. Supply chains buckle and nobody reports on it until the shelves are already empty. Daniel covers all of it, with the same attention to detail he brought to more technical work earlier in his career. His reporting focuses on what is actually happening in the food and grocery industry, not what companies want consumers to think is happening. He reads earnings calls, tracks pricing data, and talks to people inside the industry who would rather not be quoted. The result is coverage that is a little more informed than the average food news story and a lot more useful. Daniel is based in the United States. He thinks the business section and the food section should overlap a lot more than they do.
