The Louis Bonduelle Foundation,
promotes a “better eating”
philosophy.
Since 2004, the Louis Bonduelle Foundation has been working globally to to help consumers incorporate plant-based food in their daily lives in a useful, realistic and original way.
The goal of the Foundation is to go beyond rhetoric and empower people to move from theory to practice. The Foundation relies on the expertise of renowned scientists and is committed to demonstrating responsibility by measuring the impact of actions taken on the evolution of dietary practices or lifestyles and their effectiveness.
Our food commitment in action
Working with vegetables at their peak
Whether its frozen broccoli or canned beans, we wait until the crop is mature before we harvest to ensure it is high quality. We use short distances between the field and packaging of products so that they do not spoil in transit, and to prepare them as quickly as possible after harvesting.
When they reach your plate, Bonduelle’s canned green beans contain as much vitamin C as fresh green beans purchased and cooked 4 days after harvesting.Source: the Bonduelle frontal fluorescence study from 2008 and the Bonduelle fresh vs. Processed comparison study from 2008
Quality checks at every stage
We conduct quality checks when we receive products, during production, and before distributing them to our customers. Each time, different tests are performed including analyses of bacteria, taste, color, caliber, and maturity, among others. On average, frozen green beans undergo 18 types of inspections.
A sample library: we freeze a sample of every batch of vegetables delivered to our factories and keep it for 5 years.
RECIPES
We have two obsessions: taste and nutrition. Our chefs create recipes to showcase vegetables and what they have to offer. As society’s expectations change, demanding more natural food, we are on the frontline of progress. 100% of our canned products are preservatives free*.
Less saltWe are committed to changing habits, but want to do so Carefully. That’s why we have been steadily decreasing the salt in our recipes over the last 10 years.
Added sugar?Only in a few cases
We only add sugar to recipes that traditionally use it (like steamed carrots and peas), to soften the natural bitterness of a vegetable (like endives or Brussels sprouts), or to counter the acidity of an ingredient (such as vinegar).*in accordance with regulations
