A recent report has outlined 27 action areas to make the UK food system healthier, fairer, and more sustainable. Recommendations include increasing dietary fibre intake and incorporating more legumes and plant proteins in diets. ACI Group is urging UK food manufacturers to reformulate their products with next-generation fibres and plant protein ingredients to stay ahead of market changes and build a resilient product portfolio.

ACI Group offers a range of fibre ingredients that can be incorporated into various food products without affecting taste or texture. They also provide plant protein solutions, such as pea, bean, and chickpea proteins, to replace or complement animal proteins while maintaining functionality. By addressing the 'fibre gap' and reformulating products for higher fibre content, manufacturers can meet evolving regulations, win consumer trust, and tap into sustainable sources to future-proof their portfolios and create value for business and consumer wellbeing.
