Health and convenience: they absolute reign in new products

Convenient is not enough, it has to be tasty. Tasty is not enough, it must be healthy. Health and convenience, these are the rules in new products. Are you ready for the new times?

The demand for convenience and health is the reality of society today all over the world. Young, old, poor, rich, man or woman, from north to south, whether in Africa or Finland, the consumer demands products that are easier and quicker to prepare and clear without giving up health claims.
