With ever increasing costs there is no better time to ensure that your assets are delivering what you want, when you want it in the most efficient way.


The profit margin is getting pinched at both ends at the moment, so understanding topics such as energy inefficiencies, equipment failure reduction, waste reduction, identifying value adding opportunities, reducing production bottlenecks can all help reduce the manufacturing costs and maintain the margins you need to meet business objectives.

The UK food industry has made incredible advances in salt reduction, but the population is still consuming an average of 2g per day over the recommended daily intake. 
With new industry pressures such as sales restrictions on products deemed High in Fat, Sugar and Salt (HFSS) coming in to play this year, we expect to see a new wave of salt focussed reformulation. 
With this in mind, do you have the information you need about salt’s role in food, and how to reduce it? If not, don’t worry! Tune in to our Sodium Solutions podcast and hear from:
