Healthy ageing, and in particular heart health, are big concerns for consumers. So how is the food industry responding? In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with BENEO, we dive into a critical topic that resonates with many of us.  As we know, ageing populations are on the rise globally. In the UK alone, the number of people aged 65 and over has surged from 9 million to 11 million in the last decade.  This demographic shift brings the importance of healthy ageing and heart health into sharp focus. We have previously discussed on the podcast the difference between an increased lifespan and an increased health span, spending our later years in good health.  In this episode, we explore the market for products that promote healthy ageing, the trends we are seeing among consumers, and look at how how the food and drink industry is stepping up to meet consumer demand. Is functional nutrition the answer to increasing our intake of key nutrients? And how do we make products that are as good for our tastebuds as they are for our hearts? Guests: Adriana Arias, Country Manager UK, BENEO Mike Hughes, Head of Research and Insight, FMCG Gurus

Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and other drugs aim to help people manage their weight as well as their diabetes symptoms. Denisse Colindres, manager of nutrition communication, North America, Beneo, discusses a recent study that indicates a certain ingredient that stimulates the release of the hormone that helps the drugs work their magic, and what that might mean for snack and bakery producers. 

How is consumer demand shaping the future of the food industry? It is a question that is almost constantly being asked by companies, entrepreneurs and staff across the world, in what is a hugely competitive market.  There is arguably no other sector that is as tuned in to what its customers want, and delivering on those wants and needs is crucial for any business to survive. But, as many of our listeners will know, it is not always a straight line and that means plenty of adaptation and innovation. The plant-based sector, for example, has seen some interesting recent developments, with some manufacturers re-thinking the types of products they produce. In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with BENEO, we look at some of the trends and innovations designed to satisfy a complex consumer base. In relation to plant-based, we learn more about hydrocolloids and the role they have to play. We also find out how BENEO is responding to consumer demand for reduced sugar products. The products we speak about (and try!) during the episode were on display at the Food Matters Live Tastes of Better event in October - find out more about the event here. Guests: Jolien Lambrechts, Market Insights Manager, BENEO Pieter Caspers, Technical Sales Manager Savoury UK & Benelux, BENEO Guilherme Santos, Country Sales Manager - UK, BENEO

Consumers aren't just interested in healthier eating—often, they are seeking out foods that deliver a specific benefit, such as improved heart health.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Michael Ziegler, Co-Founder von Grillido, über die Hintergründe des Investments der Südzucker-Tochter Beneo. Grillido bietet mit seinen Produkten hochwertiges Grillgut mit einem Fokus auf nachhaltige Inhaltsstoffe und gute Nährwerte. Neben tierischen Grillprodukten hat das Startup auch Pflanzenprotein-Innovationen wie veganes Filet oder Veggie-Bratwurst im Portfolio. Zudem hat das Unternehmen auch Hybrid-Produkte entwickelt, die das Beste aus Pflanzen und Fleisch kombinieren sollen. Grillido wurde im Jahr 2016 von Manuel Stöffler und Michael Ziegler in München gegründet. Die beiden Gründer stammen selbst aus Metzgerfamilien und sind durch die TV-Show „Die Höhle der Löwen“ bekannt, in der sie Grillido gepitcht haben. Im Jahr 2017 hat das Startup den Deutschen Gründerpreis gewonnen.Nun hat sich ein Tochterunternehmen der Mannheimer Südzucker-Gruppe namens Beneo 14% an Grillido gesichert. Mit dem Investment gehen die Parteien eine Partnerschaft ein. Das FoodTech generiert durch seinen Multichannel-Ansatz über Handel, Gastronomie und Online-Direktvertrieb Kunden-Feedback, das Beneo als Basis für zielgenaue Produkt-Entwicklungen nutzen möchte. Zudem kann die Südzucker-Gruppe eine Verbindung zwischen Landwirtschaft und Produkt herstellen. Grillido wiederum profitiert von den globalen Vertriebs- und Marketingstrukturen, einem europaweiten Netzwerk zu über 28.000 Vertragsbauern, eigenen Produktionsbetrieben und hochmodernen Produkt-Entwicklungszentren der Südzucker-Gruppe. Durch die Partnerschaft mit Südzucker erreicht das Grill-Unternehmen auch ein neues Professionalitätslevel und kann mit der Kooperation mit einem der größten Verarbeiter von Agrarrohstoffen Europas auch in Krisenzeiten sichere Lieferketten garantieren. Gemeinsam wollen die Partner die vertikale Integration sowie die datengetriebene Produktentwicklung vorantreiben, um mit einem ganzheitlichen „Farm-to-Table“-Ansatz den Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten volle Transparenz über die Herkunft der Produkte zu geben. Mit dem frischen Kapital möchte das Münchner Startup die Sichtbarkeit im deutschen Handel signifikant erhöhen und mittelfristig international expandieren. Zudem plant das FoodTech den Aufbau eigener Produktionsanlagen.
