DLG-Expert Stage @ProSweets 2024
28 - 31 January 2024
The major themes of the food industry are also intensively preoccupying the sweets and snacks industry: The trend towards natural, more healthy and sustainably produced and packaged foods is gaining in significance.
This is accompanied by increased costs for raw material and energy as well as feared regulations, such as the currently discussed ban on food advertisements targeting children, which frequently promote products that contain too much sugar, fat or salt. The manufacturers are also intensively working on the reformulation of recipes without noticeable sensory or technological deficits - challenges, which at the same time also offer the opportunity to differentiate oneself.
Is it possible to produce healthy sweets and snacks? How can we avoid littering? What is the status quo with regard to the Supply Chain Act in Germany? What options for implementing sustainability can be established in the sweets and snacks industry? Answers to these and other important questions are provided by our Expert Stage.
The key topics of the DLG on the Expert Stage:
- Nudging (snacking)
- Supply chain act - status quo Europe
- Reformulation, ban on advertising sweets and snacks for children
- Sustainability in production
- Sustainable packaging
Challenges facing the sweets and snacks industry: from sustainability to healthy snacks.
The trend towards natural, more healthy and sustainably produced and packaged foods is gaining in significance. Presentations on the expert stage will show innovative approaches to overcoming the various challenges.
