ADM, a global leader in innovative solutions from nature, announced its investment in the company’s Erlanger campus, with a focus on innovation, growth, and addressing the significant demand for reformulation in the evolving food and beverage landscape.
ADM insights indicate over 80% of U.S. consumers favor reformulation, with 52% stating it is a must for brands and 63% preferring that brands reformulate existing products to align with better-for-you positioning.
