    • Without real compromise on products quality and taste

An evolving regulatory environment, driven by opinion leaders

  • e-labeling and digital apps “identifying” recipes
  • European regulations pushing in favor of further harmonization of stakeholders’ transparency commitments
  • New certifications

Sector Challenges

Visibility on products origin and quality:

  • Sourcing, traceability, and higher ingredients quality

More digitalized processes:

  • Direct link to consumers (apps, personalization, etc.) and omnichannel

Optimizing Packaging and its circuit:
