Candeco Goes Sustainable

At Candeco we want to contribute in the ways we can and take the important steps towards a more sustainable food production. Years ago we replaced palm oil with more sustainable alternatives in most of our products. Where we still need to use palm oil (due to product properties) we will from January 2017 only use RSPO-SG certified quality. Our chocolate and cocoa is based on sustainably farmed cocoa, carrying the UTZ certification, and we have also developed an organic range of decorations and inclusions.

For the modern consumer both environmental sustainability and social responsibility becomes ever more important. For many consumers, especially among the millennials, buying products that are not made in an environmentally friendly and ethical way is not even an option. It is clear that the demand for this will only increase over the years to come.

The world of candy, ice cream and other products brought to “treat yourself” has not been able to keep up with this trend. Most of the organic products found on the market today is plain chocolate or traditional ice cream without the flair found in the ordinary range. This is something we at Candeco want to change!

Candeco offer a range of naturally coloured and flavoured sprinkles, flakes and pearls made from organic sugar and certified according to the European Union’s standard for organic production. In addition to these products, we also have a real butter crocant that is organically certified. The range will just keep on growing based on the need of our customers.
