Ready made meals

When it comes to packaged food, creativity knows no limits. Our Food & Nutrition experts provide all the needed ingredients to improve the pleasant taste, balance the colors, provide stability, and create the required texture of your products. We also supply a big portfolio of clean label ingredients for your convenience food, ready meals, soups, sauces and dressings.
A complete meal out of one package is a daily routine to many people. One or two quick steps and just a few minutes are needed and a main dish, pasta product, rich soup, or prepared salad is ready to be eaten. These products must fit the major trends along with claims like organic, heart healthy, rich in protein, diabetic, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or fat-reduced which are major influences on consumer buying decisions.

Small parts with huge effects

Sauces and dressings are the soul of a meal. They add a personal note, are indispensable and exist in an almost endless variety. Be it spicy Mexican taco, bold Chinese hoisin or piquant Caribbean Jamaican Jerk: The thirst for adventures opens new possibilities and ethnic and exotic flavors are in great demand by consumers.
On the rise is also the soup segment. Analysts from Innova Market Insights see an increase in sales all around the globe. Soups are not only considered an appetizer but as a complete meal itself. One reason for this increase are trends like vegetarian and vegan products, which come in many different versions and find a huge appeal among customers.
Packaged food has a giant share in the market, so the latest and best ingredients are necessary to stay on top of the competition. When it comes to food processing, enrichment, fortification and preservation, our Food & Nutrition division has the knowledge and a tremendous network of suppliers to help to develop your products. With our tailored solutions and innovative power food, companies gain full control over every aspect of their final product.
