DLG Guided Tours

Ingredients of the Future: Innovations Shaping Taste, Health and Sustainability

Our conceptual sponsor DLG will once again be offering the popular Guided Tours – this time under the motto “Ingredients of the Future: Innovations Shaping Taste, Health and Sustainability.” Look forward to an exclusive tour through the new ISM Ingredients, showcasing the full spectrum of semi-finished products, raw materials and ingredients.

ProSweets Cologne Guided Tours

The latest innovations in ingredients for confectionery and snacks reflect the newest trends and developments in the food industry. Consumers are increasingly seeking products that not only deliver great taste, but also offer added health benefits.

Examples include fermented ingredients that support gut health, functional components that help reduce stress, and plant-based alternatives such as vegan chocolate, protein bars or snacks made from legumes and nuts. Sustainability remains a key focus – from the upcycling of food waste to the development of eco-friendly products.

These innovations address current consumer trends while contributing to broader societal and health challenges. They provide solutions for conscious indulgence, sustainable production, and exciting new taste experiences.

The Guided Tour will take visitors to selected exhibitors within the newly established ISM Ingredients area.

Further information on participating companies will follow soon.

Join us on our guided tours and experience the innovations of the confectionery and snack industry up close!
