Listeria – an invisible threat in food production Listeria monocytogenes is a serious challenge: it survives refrigeration, forms biofilms, and can multiply in ready-to-eat foods – posing significant health risks, especially to vulnerable groups. Why regular testing is essential: ✔️ Early detection of contamination ✔️ Evaluation of hygiene processes ✔️ Compliance with audits ✔️ Fast decision-making with real-time PCR Unlike traditional methods that take days, real-time PCR delivers results within hours – a major advantage for quality assurance and product safety.

ENZYMATIC EXPERTISE 🌾🍞 Is the fluctuating quality of wheat affecting your flours and finished products? Rely on the performance of our enzymes, the result of over 20 years of expertise! The quality of flour is inseparable from the intrinsic characteristics of wheat, which are themselves strongly influenced by factors such as variety, origin, and climatic conditions. This natural variability, which changes from year to year, complicates the work of millers and bakers: it affects flour stability, alters dough rheology, and compromises the consistency of finished products. To correct these imbalances, enzymes are especially powerful technological tools. Their ability to precisely target key flour components makes them highly effective. However, it takes expertise to select, dose, and most importantly, master the synergy between their different activities. That’s where our added value lies: drawing on deep knowledge of raw materials and recognized formulation expertise, we develop custom enzyme complexes designed to compensate for wheat variability. The result: stable, consistent flour for finished products that meet your standards and your clients’ expectations. Find all our wheat quality analyses and correction advice for your flours in our Wheat Quality Reports! Want to ensure the reliability of your flours with our enzymes? 🌾🍞 👉🏼 Contact us: [email protected] #enzymes #wheat #flour #milling #bakery #ingredientsolutions

Great news from France! 🇫🇷 The French government is boosting its local plant-based food production with a major €12M investment towards ‘Protein Sovereignty’ across 10 projects. This funding is part of the ministry’s National Strategy for Plant Proteins, an initiative to create more local products and rely less on imported proteins. Consumer demand for plant-based foods is booming in France. Sales grew by 9% in 2024, reaching a massive €537M, which makes France Europe's third-largest market. Chilled meat alternatives saw an even bigger jump, with 15.5% growth. Research also suggests that the French have reduced their animal-based meat consumption in the last two decades. In fact, the government’s new projects align with the 35% of French residents who rate legumes and pulses among the richest sources of protein, and the two-thirds who now eat foods like lentils and beans weekly. Let’s hope France continues to invest in plant-based proteins and meet the growing demand for local, nutritious, and sustainable food! 🌱 📖 Read more about France’s investment in plant-based production: https://hubs.ly/Q03BVlsr0 #ProVeg #SustainableFuture #PlantBasedProtein

🔔 Sustell™: MiXscience and dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health Join Forces for More Sustainable Farming 🔔   We are pleased to announce the collaboration between Sustell™ and MiXscience, Avril’s innovation and expertise-driven animal nutrition company.   Sustell™ is an industry leading solution for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the livestock sector. Developed by dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health over several years in conjunction with partners and stakeholders, Sustell™ provides a scalable, end-to-end ISO assured environmental assessment of the animal value chain from feed to farm to processed products allowing to understand the details of current footprint while being able to run scenarios to determine where and how to improve. Sustell™ is compliant with international standards and sector-specific methodologies (FAO LEAP, EU PEF, IPCC…).   The use of Sustell will enable MiXscience to reliably, credibly, conveniently and accurately characterize the environmental impacts of the products it develops and nutritional strategies it designs, those of its feed millers’ clients, and even the entire value chain.   💬 Nathalie Couvreur – Head of CSR, and Matthieu CHATILLON – Director of Innovation at MiXscience : “This collaboration will help accelerate the transition toward more responsible, sustainable, and profitable agriculture. Sustell™ enhances our environmental impacts measurement strategy, initiated in 2019 with MatriCIEL®, and more recently through predictive tools for nutritional and carbon efficiency in livestock, such as ADN, Megaplan, and Icownic. Sustell™ marks a key milestone in our ambition to decarbonize livestock farming.”   #Sustell #Mixscience #DSM #Avril #LCA #SustainableAgriculture #Decarbonization #Transparency #Innovation #ResponsibleFarming

🎉 Funding news 🎉 To build more resilient food systems and support protein diversification, infrastructure that can turn locally produced crops into tasty, affordable foods is essential. Newly announced funding from the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food seeks to do just that – investing €11.7 million to support protein sovereignty and expand the production of plant-protein ingredients using locally grown crops. The funding is distributed to ten winning projects through the Ministry’s “Territorial Legume Sector Projects” call – a mechanism aiming to support collective projects committed to the development of national production of plant proteins. The announced support is part of France’s National Strategy for Plant Proteins, launched in 2020, aiming to reduce the country’s dependence on imported protein crops and ingredients.
