11th September 2023 Goodman Fielder
Goodman Fielder has discontinued its Edmonds brand frozen pastry products, saying they were no longer commercially viable.
Food manufacturers are constantly weighing up the juxtaposition of food waste versus plastic packaging down to individual product level, according to Goodman Fielder’s Hamish Conway.
Its latest results come in the same month that the company completes its exit from New Zealand’s pie category.
The food manufacturer is distancing itself from the red ink in its recent past, hitting a revenue milestone and improving its operating profit despite 2021’s challenging market conditions.
Goodman Fielder has added recyclable cardboard bread tags to all its bread loaves, buns and rolls.
Goodman Fielder is reducing the amount of virgin plastic originating from Meadow Fresh brand milk bottles by including recycled plastic content in its containers.
The transition starts with Nature’s Fresh loaves one day a week, but is soon to be followed by Molenberg, Vogel’s and Freya’s.
Ingredients play follows acquisition by Singaporean conglomerate Wilmar International.
