I am pleased to bring you another jam-packed issue of Kennedy’s Bakery Production. In our news section this edition we report the latest campaign from British Bakels, set to give bakers the tools to promote their EastAer offerings and maximise sales in this area. ADM is to open a new production facility in Spain, which boasts the first of its kind to produce both probiotics and postbiotics at the same facility, in a bid to expand its prominence in the health and wellbeing sector. Read more, and all the latest news from page 10.


February and March feels to me like a promise of new beginnings, as we work our way towards the end of winter and the idyllic picture of spring forms in our mind. Although comfort food is always a necessity all year round, the beginning half of the year, I think, consumers are intent on the idea of bettering themselves - whether that’s through exercise, mindfulness or healthy eating. The latter gives the bakery sector an area of development, and many experts in the industry are growing their capacities for more functional and healthy ingredients to achieve these goals.


Additionally, organic ingredients are also perceived by consumers as being more environmentally friendly and sustainable and this has given further impetus for bakery businesses to use organic ingredients in their products. Read more about the demands for organic bakery products in our healthy ingredients feature on page 14.

Not only this but demand is growing for all-encompassing fat-reducing solutions that not only fit the bill for health but sustainability, taste, quality and affordability too. Reducing the overall fat content of bakery products – and specifically reducing the levels of saturated fat without affecting product quality, is one of the key concerns for many manufacturers today. So, what is the solution? Find out on page 30.


In keeping with the trend, we also bring news of the upcoming Natural & Organic Products Europe (NOMEX) show at the ExCeL in London on the 16-17 April 2023. On page 34 we give you all the information on its new initiative for independent retailers in the food industry, as well as a closer look at a few of the key sessions held at the Natural TALKS Theatre. We look forward to attending and seeing how the confectionery and bakery sector can develop even further in this field!


Thank you for your continued support, and please do keep an eye on our social media channels for exclusive bakery content.
