Dr Schär At Schär, the health, nutrition and wellbeing of our consumers is pivotal to our business. We produce products for people who avoid gluten, a population whose nutritional health may be of concern and in whom optimising gut health is essential. In recognition of the vital role that dietary fibre plays in supporting health and preventing disease in the whole population, alongside the chasm that exists between current population fibre intakes and those that are recommended, our pledges will be all-encompassing and span product development, marketing and work place health. The fibre content of our best-selling loaves will be increased and their fibre credentials will be a focus of consumer marketing communications. We will support national health and nutrition events with consumer information and educational assets to inform and support the public to increase their fibre intake. With the support of our company dietitians, we will initiate an internal work-place nutrition education programme, supporting colleagues to make a positive difference to their health by increasing fibre intake. |

Innocent We’re innocent and we make natural food & drinks that make people live well and die old. Our smoothies and juices are made from not-from-concentrate fruit & veg juices. They never contain preservatives, concentrates and we never ever add sugar. All the sugar in the drinks is naturally occurring from fruit and each 150ml portion counts as ‘1 of your 5 a day.’ We’re always looking for ways to make our products even healthier which is why we’re committing that each of our adults smoothies will be a source of fibre by the end of 2021. |
