Yes! Nestlé will continue to support Nutri-Score in Europe and we will be transitioning to the new algorithm on our labels by the end of 2025. Why do we support Nutri-Score? Our goal is to continue to encourage consumers to use it as a tool for making informed decisions for healthier and more balanced diets, by providing clear and transparent nutrition information about our products. It is also in line with our target to grow the sales of more nutritious products by CHF 20-25 billion by 2030. Nutri-Score remains a core pillar of our Portfolio Transparency Reporting.   Why it matters? Nestlé was one of the first adopters of Nutri-Score in Europe in 2019, and since then it has been implemented on thousands of Nestlé products throughout continental Europe where governments are supportive and consumers familiar with the system.   This is why I participated last April to the Belgian Presidency of the EU’s Scientific Symposium on Nutri-Score and had the opportunity to exchange with Prof. serge hercberg on the importance of transforming Nutri-Score into a public-private partnership. We join the call of the Symposium to the incoming European Commission to resume the discussions on a single EU-wide front-of-pack labelling scheme in the next mandate, to help consumers across Europe make better informed decisions for healthier and more balanced diets.

Looking for inspiration? So are we.🔎 This month at Dr. Oetker has been all about regenerative agriculture. After participating in the Growth Alliance | AgriFood Idea Camp with the TUM Venture Labs and tackling two key challenges in regenerative agriculture, the conversation continued with start-ups, students, scientists, industry leaders, and policymakers at the “FAB Talk Regenerative AgriFood Systems” in #Weihenstephan. Now, it is time to move from talk to action! In a hackathon-style workshop, Dr. Oetker teamed up with external partners, start-ups, and regenerative agriculture experts, to dive deep into how regenerative agriculture can be integrated into the business. Four focus groups developed and pitched their results with important action points. This workshop will be the basis for a Task Force at Dr. Oetker that will meet regularly to drive the implementation forward.🚀 "Deep diving into the results of the hackathon, let us pave a way on how to bring these great ideas on regenerative agriculture into action." Avdesh Chaudhary, Open Innovation Manager at Dr. Oetker. More insights in the comments. ⤵

🇩🇪 Formo raised a $61M Series B and launched fermentation-based, animal-free cheeses in over 2,000 stores in Germany and Austria They've launched Frischhain, a cream cheese made from koji protein, available in plain and herb varieties, with a tomato version and a Camembert-inspired cheese on the way. Formo's cheeses are made using the microbe Aspergillus oryzae, a koji mould, which has been used in traditional Japanese foods like miso and sake. Its protein structure resembles whey, which makes it a great base for dairy alternatives. With a total of $117M raised, Formo is gearing up to scale production, go international, and develop more cheese alternatives. Formo is also pushing to launch cheeses made with precision fermentation-derived casein in early 2025.

🌍 Redefining Food Consumption: The Emergence of Groceries in Bulk 🛒 The way we shop for food is evolving, and a significant shift is underway—the rise of groceries in bulk. This trend represents a departure from traditional shopping practices, offering consumers a more sustainable, economical, and customizable approach to purchasing food items. Here’s how this trend is redefining the way we consume food: Key Elements of the Emergence of Groceries in Bulk: Sustainable Packaging: Minimizing waste by allowing shoppers to use reusable containers. Tailored Portions: Reducing food waste by enabling customers to buy only what they need. Cost Savings: Offering lower prices per unit compared to individually packaged items. Diverse Selection: Providing a wide range of products available for bulk purchase. A prime example of this trend is KoRo, offering high-quality organic products in bulk. By sourcing directly from producers and prioritizing eco-friendly packaging, KoRo Drogerie promotes sustainability and passes on cost savings to consumers. To ensure our FutureBens Community always shops sustainably, we’ve partnered with KoRo! 🛒✨ Yiğit Tuncer #BulkGroceries #SustainableShopping #EcoFriendlyConsumption

🍷 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐀𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞?  Ever wondered why some non-alcoholic wines come with a higher price tag? The difference often lies in what’s 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆 the bottle. Many cheaper options use additives, concentrates, flavorants, and extra sugar to mimic the taste of traditional wines. But at Misty Cliffs, we believe in a purer approach—our wines are crafted with no additives, low sugar, and no artificial flavorants, offering you a premium experience that's worth every cent. What do you think? Would you pay a bit more for a cleaner, more authentic taste?

💥 Is a Revolutionary Packaging Redesign Worth the Risk? In 2021, Bahlsen rebranded their Choco Leibniz biscuits with a clean, bold, and modern look—radically different from before. The design community loved it, but sales dropped 11.8% within two years. What went wrong? Did customers reject the new design, or was it just bad timing with inflation driving shoppers to cheaper alternatives? It's a reminder that brands can’t get too far ahead of their customers. I thought of Bahlsen's "failure" when I saw Bionaturae’s redesign last April. As a regular buyer, I almost didn’t recognize the new packaging. My first reaction? Where did Bionaturae go? Oh, there it is in that sharp new green box! The new design feels more appetizing and premium, with streamlined callouts and an eye-catching product window. But the initial confusion had me wondering: Did other loyal customers react the same way? Big packaging changes are risky, but sometimes they’re necessary. If your product has evolved or you need to reconnect with your audience, a bold rebrand might be the answer. Were you involved in this redesign? I’d love to hear how it’s been received. #PackagingDesign #BrandStrategy #Rebranding #MarketingInsights #ConsumerBehavior #BrandIdentity #CreativeProcess #brandora

Would you shop at a fully vegan supermarket? 🤔 To mark World Vegan Day last week REWE Group released some of the data on the ‘REWE Fully Plant-Based’ store - a dedicated vegan supermarket in Berlin. Since opening at Warschauer Brücke in mid-April, the store has welcomed around 5,500 weekly shoppers, shopping from a range of 2,700 plant-based products. Due to high demand, the store has extended hours until 11 pm and added self-checkout options. CEO Peter Maly says that the success of the store indicates a growing demand for accessible, high-quality vegan options in a mainstream shopping environment. “Opening a purely plant-based store was a courageous step, but the feedback from our customers so far proves it can work when done right.” The success of the store again shows the appetite for plant-based diet in Germany - which is Europe’s largest vegan market - and how creating alternative protein sources from mycelium to create delicious, sustainable, highly available protein sources, will be more important than ever 💪. #Mycelium #Vegan #PlantBased
