Is plant based milk good for me and the planet? That was the question I asked myself on one morning last week, when preparing my favourite coffee ?? with peach notes from miró manufactura de café in Zurich. That very day, I had the pleasure of facilitating a session at ETH Zürich on the hot topic of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) with 60+ brilliant attendees from academia, industry, and government. Personally, I wanted to know if my beloved Oatly Barista Edition is the right choice for me and the planet, so I decided to raise that question during the ETH Food Day workshop. Of course, we covered many other interesting aspects of food processing too. Here are some key takeaways from our session: ?? The need for clarity – UPFs lack a clear legal definition, and while the NOVA classification helps, it has its limitations. Not all processed foods and techniques are bad. ?? Transparency and education – informing the public about what’s in their food empowers healthier choices. We discussed the power of clear labeling and accessible information as tools for change. ?? Innovating for healthier formulations – reformulating UPFs with improved ingredients can be a powerful lever for creating healthier food options. We explored how industry can be part of the solution through responsible product development. A huge thank you to our incredible speakers Sophie Hofer, Mélanie Douziech, Niels Jungbluth, and Dr. Martin Michel, as well as our dedicated table moderators Eliana Zamprogna, Jonas Schneider, Margarethe Piegrzik, and Franziska Legoupil (B?hm) for making this session a success! ?? By the way, if you want to know more: Join SFNV's next online Impact Forum coming Monday for free. Register here ?? lnkd.in/eiBjfK34 Oh, and yes, I got the answer about my morning coffee: Upon a closer review the product label is good - no added sugar, fortified with vitamins and minerals, low in salt and saturated fats, and with lower climate impact compared to cow milk.? Phew... ?? I can keep enjoying my morning ritual.

As leaders in the food industry, it's part of our mission to challenge misconceptions and shine a light on the vital role food science plays in everyday life. Let’s talk about one big myth: ? Myth: “Processed foods are inherently unhealthy.” Truth: This misconception overlooks the advancements and intentions behind food processing. At its core, food processing is about safety, quality, and accessibility. For instance, pasteurization—a process where milk is heated to eliminate harmful bacteria—makes it safe to drink without losing essential nutrients. ?? And beyond safety, we enrich foods with vitamins and minerals, bringing essential nutrients to communities around the world. ?? Today, food science is driven by a commitment to improving food security, sustainability, and nutrition, all while meeting our consumers’ evolving expectations. Our R&D teams work tirelessly to create foods that are safe, nutritious, and align with modern health standards. ???? From reducing food waste to enhancing nutritional profiles, we are shaping a better, healthier future. ?? Your Perspective: As consumers and professionals, how do you see the food science industry? Do you believe there’s more to it than “just processing”? I invite you to connect, join the discussion, and follow for more insights as we drive change in this dynamic industry. Don’t forget to hit the ?? for the latest in food innovation! #MicrobiologyAndFoodScience #FoodIndustryLeadership #day4of20

We are delighted to promote the first output of our research about insect-based food at the Dipartimento di Scienze Aziendali UniBergamo. With Riccardo Valesi and Giuseppe Pedeliento (Ph.D), we have worked to understand the drivers of choice, and who is the potential target of this novel food. The results are surprising, nor are the green issues or the nutrition motives, but the search for novelty and variety. We are grateful to Carlotta Totaro Fila, MSc, MBA who helped us to develop the framework of this research...But the best is yet to come!! In the next research, we will analyze brands and insect-based food. #food #insects #consumer #foodinnovation You can read the entire article?? https://lnkd.in/d2kcZrqR

"And the winner is Novonesis!" In this video clip, you can catch a few highlights from our time at the Food Ingredients Europe conference in Frankfurt, Germany. Here, our colleagues met with many inspiring people across the food industry. We were also happy that one of our biosolutions in baking, Novamyl BestBite, was recognized as the winner of the innovation award. During the conference, our Regional President Johan Weimann spoke to FoodNavigator about what trends we are currently seeing in the food and beverage space:? "We're seeing a significant emphasis on health, nutritional value, and sustainability. Our biosolutions are tailored to meet these evolving demands, aligning with the increasing expectations for healthier and more sustainable products," he said.? He also talked about the role of biosolutions for plant-based food:? "We are using our combination of cultures and enzymes to improve the taste and texture of plant-based food. Producers are challenged in regard to functionality, such as taste, texture and solubility of plant proteins. We believe biosolutions will play a critical role in overcoming these challenges, and therefore we continue to invest in this area."

"Reducing sugar is not just a trend, it’s a necessity for the future of food.” This was a key takeaway for Sophia Pai, our Vice President of Application and Technical Services, when she joined a panel discussion at the Advancing Sugar Reduction & Reformulation Summit this week in Atlanta, US. Our Principal Scientist, Melissa Kaczmarczyk, was also there and led a talk on assessing the impact of sweeteners and prebiotic fibers on the gut microbiome. The Summit was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders, innovators, and experts - all coming together with a shared vision of creating healthier food and beverage products. It is clear that as consumers demand healthier, better-for-you options, the need for reformulation solutions has never been more urgent. At Tate & Lyle, we are proud to be pioneers in driving the science behind ingredient structure-function and developing cutting-edge formulation solutions to address these challenges. We partner with our customers to help them navigate these changes and provide delicious, reduced-sugar products without compromising on taste or quality. Special thanks to all the speakers and participants for their invaluable contributions, and to the organisers for bringing experts together to exchange knowledge and drive positive change.
