"We help Brands, Retail & Foodservice increase profitability, and sustainability, by helping them attract more health aware and environmentally conscious consumers"

Food tastes are changing

A food revolution is happening as consumers recognise the link between their food choices, their personal health, and the health of the planet
This has seen huge numbers of people adopting a ‘flexitarian’ diet, by actively reducing their meat and dairy intake

Added to this, Allergy UK estimate that 45% of UK Adults are affected by a food allergy or intolerance.
With these rapidly changing dining habits, from a large customer base, it is vital that Brands, Retail and Food service businesses keep pace with their ability to cater well for these changing tastes and preferences

“We have the skills, knowledge and expertise to help your business be more profitable, by helping you appeal to customers who value health & nutrition, and those choosing a more flexitarian or plant-based diet”
