Let’s look
after ourselves.

Bake for care

Eating is not just about satisfying hunger, it’s also about improving our health. Bread can play its part in daily nutrition and well-being. The crossover of our historic expertise in bread-making and the state-of-the-art expertise in our nutrition and health business units puts Lesaffre in a unique position to meet the challenges of baking in the 21 st century. By working closely with bakers and harnessing our R&D facilities, we can deliver the latest innovations in bread-making.

Nutrition

At Lesaffre, we make sure that bread is a natural source of nutrition and helps people to lead healthy lives. We do this by reducing the quantities of certain ingredients, such as salt, fat and sugar, and adding others, including vitamins and minerals. The result is enticing baked products with a good nutritional profile and the unmistakable
taste of indulgence.

Wellness

Typically consumed every day in so many countries around the world, bread can be an ideal way of providing benefits to specific groups within the population, such as children, seniors, and women during pregnancy.

Diet

Bread is also an ideal way of supporting the many different dietary choices being made by today’s consumers. Our product portfolio caters for lifestyle choices and personal commitments, like veganism, along with health requirements, such as gluten-free products.
