We offer a diverse product portfolio to satisfy the taste and nutritional needs of our consumers.
Improved nutritional profiles
To understand and incorporate their taste and preferences in our product portfolio, we listen to our consumers and work in close contact with them. Throughout our different Business Units and iconic brands, we offer product lines with low sodium, fat, and sugar content.
We have research and development initiatives focused on the continuous improvement of the nutritional profile of our products. These efforts are aligned with our commitment to satisfy the nutritional requirements of our consumers. In this task, we are guided by our Innovation and Product Development policies to work as one Sigma across the regions we operate in.

The institutions we work with include the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Oklahoma State University, Ghent University, Burgos University, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL), as well as technological centers such as Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (Conacyt), Danish Meat Research Institute, Technological Center CARTIF, Engineering and Industrial Development Center (CIDESI), among others.
