Heja Framtiden podcast #535: Heli Anttila

The concept of foodtech includes a wide range of science and innovation, and the confectionery sector is no exception. Heli Anttila is Head of Innovation at ⁠Fazer Confectionery⁠ in Finland. Her team is constantly working on developing their vast assortment of products by testing new ingredients and processes. Under the brand Taste the Future, they have come up with a new way of producing chocolate using rye instead of cocoa – an ingredient with bot climate change and social sustainability challenges. A collaboration with Solar Foods adds the protein Solein in another pilot product, and cultivated cocoa is a third way of innovating. We met Heli at Fazer’s Swedish HQ in Stockholm to hear more about their work.
