While adapting your recipes for the new package, why not take the opportunity to make improvements or try out something new? We have many years of experience in this area, so you can expect the process to be completed in days. Get advice on fine-tuning your product for specific markets, and on technical matters such as filling and sealing.
Peter Brunkestam is Product Development Chef at the Food Development Centre, with a passion for food that translates into exciting new products for your business. “Customers generally want to find out how their existing recipe turns out in our packaging system. So, we make some samples together. If the customer is interested, we then also develop a few offshoots from their basic recipe,” he says. Read the interview with Peter

Several consumer trends are influencing the direction of the food industry. For example, the drive for responsible consumption means an increasing number of consumers now choose vegan, vegetarian or flexitarian diets. Busy, urban dwellers also want convenience, which means more online shopping – for groceries, meal kits, prepared food and even pet food. Meanwhile, travellers, migrant groups and adventurous eaters are all looking for authentic food experiences as part of what we call the ‘heritage and provenance’ trend. Explore the trends and learn how Tetra Recart packaging can help food producers live up to modern consumers’ expectations. Read more about food trends
