Could changes to product ranges impact health and the environment? According to new research published in Nature Food, small changes could make a big difference.
nature.com
Large nutritional and environmental improvements can be achieved across the product portfolios of major UK food and beverage manufacturers - Nature Food
Food and beverage manufacturers have the potential to contribute to the transition towards a more nutritious and sustainable food system. By analysing products sold by 44 major food and beverage manufacturers in the UK, this study identifies how, and to what extent, changes to product portfolios could improve the healthiness of food products while reducing their environmental impact.
