A recipe for success

Innovation

We connect consumer needs with science; our food scientists and nutritionists create extraordinary solutions that help you to meet increasing consumer demand for foods that are lower in sugar, calories, fat and salt. We protect our intellectual property by patenting our innovation and currently have around 500 patents in issue and more than 300 patents pending. *

Consumer insight

Understanding consumer’s needs and identifying future trends and opportunities is crucial to the start of any successful project. Our in-house sensory, culinary and marketing teams equip us with valuable market insight that drives our product development programme. Although we talk about global trends, there are significant cultural and economic differences between global regions, so we carry out on-the-ground research wherever we operate to understand the needs of a local area and tailor solutions to fit.

Customer collaboration

Understanding our customers and what they want is critical to our mutual success. The opening of our Global Innovation Centre in Chicago in 2012 represented a step-change in how we work with our customers globally. This workspace is particularly important when we bring new products to market: engaging with customers earlier and throughout the innovation process helps drive quicker adoption cycles.
