Continuous improvement of nutritional profiles

We offer a distinctive product portfolio that satisfies our consumers’ tastes and nutritional needs. We maintain close communication with customers and end consumers to learn about their preferences and incorporate them into our offerings. With this realization, we have product lines reduced in sodium, fat, and/or sugar. In addition, we have research and development initiatives focused on continuously improving the nutritional profile of our products. During 2022, we developed products that also comply with the various applicable nutritional regulations and standards of the regions in which we operate.

100% OF OUR NON-INDULGENT PRODUCTS COMPLY WITH INTERNAL SUGAR LEVEL STANDARDS.

Nutritional base (Strengthen)

Promote a new generation of nutrition standards and targets for Sigma’s products based on dietary references and scientific evidence.

Innovation in health (Expand)

Strengthen the offer of products that contribute to a healthy diet through the co-development of new concepts and the support for the exploration of emerging categories with added nutritional value.

Transparent nutritional information

We promote healthy diets by empowering consumers in their decision making through responsible and transparent marketing practices. We seek to provide clear information about our products and disclose their nutritional value, in addition to complying with local regulations. The nutritional information we communicate adheres to international best practices, including Codex Alimentarius and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
