Food

Higher-quality, plant-rich food for everyone

Food lies at the intersection of public health, environmental challenges, and consumer empowerment

However, only 1 in 5 adults meets the recommended intake levels for fruits and vegetables, while nearly 3 out of 4 consumers base their food purchases on the list of ingredients. To meet these expectations, we develop products in accordance with rigorous quality and nutritional standards, with a commitment to transparency. We are also expanding our plant-rich product offerings to better cater to a wider range of mealtimes and encourage changes in eating habits, with the goal of making plant-rich food more accessible. A need confirmed by consumers: 92% of participants in an OpinionWay study on flexitarianism believe, after one year, that vegetarian meals are a useful way to add variety to their diet (a panel of 427 flexitarian households tracked over 12 months in France).

Bonduelle peels back the clichés
Fondation Louis Bonduelle

Too bland, too complicated, too boring, too expensive? What if vegetables were more than what we think of them? To accelerate the transition toward a more plant-rich plate, we believe it’s high time to peel back the clichés.

Since 2004, the Louis Bonduelle Foundation has been working to bring about lasting changes in eating habits, with respect for people and the planet, by promoting more plant-rich food that is accessible and appealing. It draws on science to better understand and shed light on food-related challenges, and supports concrete initiatives and accessible tools to help everyone make lasting changes, with particular attention to the most vulnerable groups.

Build a relevant portfolio

We develop products—including more prepared foods—that fit naturally into everyday life and meet the diverse expectations of flexitarian consumers, making it easy for everyone to access plant-rich food.

Delicious and affordable options that fit naturally into any lifestyle.

This initiative, carried out in 16 countries, raises students’ awareness of food and nature through the creation of educational gardens. In 2025–2026, it enrolled no fewer than 23,351 children in 536 schools, compared with 4,000 children two years earlier. This strong growth demonstrates the program’s ability to raise awareness among a growing number of young people about challenges related to food, biodiversity, and sustainable development.
