Food Matters Live Podcasts

Consumers are changing. What they want from their food and why is shifting fast. For manufacturers, keeping up means understanding not just the trends but the forces driving them.

For food manufacturers, the pressures stacking up right now can feel contradictory. 

Consumers want food that's healthier, but they won't compromise on taste. 

They also want products to be more affordable, but their expectations for quality and provenance are rising.

And all of this with a backdrop of disruptive influences such as GLP-1 drugs and geo-political tensions.

In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with BENEO and Meatless, we explore how intelligent ingredient choices can help manufacturers navigate all of it at once.

BENEO and Meatless will be at Food Matters Live in London on 3rd and 4th June. Visit foodmatterslive.com to register.
