It is also exciting to be involved in a mission as strong and forward thinking as ‘connecting nutrition and health’. I am convinced that BENEO will continue its sustainable, long-term growth, because it has the strong foundation of having scientifically proven benefits combined with expert knowledge that makes a significant difference to the market,” he added.

Key nutritional benefits are ‘less fat’, ‘less sugar’, ‘less calories’, ‘added fibre’, ‘gluten-free’ and dairy alternatives as well as energy management, digestive, bone and dental health. Key technological benefits focus on taste and texture improvements. Through a unique chain of expertise, including the BENEO-Institute that provides decisive insights into nutrition science and legislation, and the BENEO-Technology Center that consults in application technology, BENEO actively supports customers in the development of more balanced and healthy food products.
