2022-01 SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION: NOT JUST WORDS BUT ACTIONS!

EU Specialty Food Ingredients producers are constantly seeking innovative solutions across the broad spectrum of sustainability challenges that we are currently facing, including within the food industry. In part, this involves responding to consumer demands, for example, enabling healthier alternatives, in particular, by the reduction of sugar, fat and salt content as recommended by national dietary guidelines.

In addition, specialty food ingredients can help respond to the critical pressures currently placed on the world’s natural resources by delivering more sustainable alternatives and helping to reduce food waste, which is considered key to ensuring adequate and sustainable food systems.

Innovation in the food ingredient industry is pervasive. Tangible examples of the industry’s innovative solutions that can help the transition towards a sustainable food system are available here.
