FrieslandCampina has introduced Milner cheese with great taste and bite and 40% less salt and since 2008 VION Food group has taken more than 800 tonnes of sodium chloride  out of gammon and bacon for the UK  market.

Today we announce that Gilde Healthcare has joined NIZO food research as a shareholder to facilitate long term growth. Ad Juriaanse (CEO) about the further support of Gilde Healthcare’s investment: “The current strategy to grow internationally in contract research is supplemented with new, innovative business models. For example, NIZO has recently developed in-house product innovations such as fibers based on plant proteins and fat-free ice cream. It also is one of the few companies worldwide that operates a state-of-the-art pilot plant to actually produce these innovations. We see this transaction as recognition of our company’s strong market position and the expertise of our staff”.
