Sustainability isn't a fleeting trend; it’s fundamentally reshaping how consumers shop, and the data tells a compelling story: • 49% of consumers report that "foods grown using sustainable regenerative agriculture practices" are important to their dietary goals and priorities.* • 74% of consumers have a positive perception of food companies and brands that participate in regenerative agriculture.* In our recent blog, "The Sustainable Shelf: Unlocking Value Across Frozen, Snack and Beyond,” we break down how strategic investments in sustainability — like regenerative agriculture — can differentiate your products, and how The Campbell’s Company and other leading CPG brands are partnering with Ardent Mills today to help build a more sustainable future and unlock strategic growth.

Food safety hazards are a constant in food manufacturing. Even with best practices in place, there are risks associated with ready-to-eat and ready-to-bake products, especially when consumers underbake, undercook and/or mishandle raw flour-based products. Our food safety solutions are designed to reduce risk and help protect your brand: BakeSafer™ treatments for flour products reduce pathogen levels in wheat flour by at least 90% (observed up to 99.9%) without heat treatment – making it simple to swap into ready-to-bake (or cook) formulations while maintaining product quality. Ardent Mills SafeGuard™ uses advanced heat treatment technology to reduce pathogens by up to five logs in wheat flour, alternative grains, flour, pulses, seeds and flakes, helping manufacturers create ready-to-eat products with confidence. As consumer awareness grows, flour safety is a critical part of the conversation. With Ardent Mills, you can reduce risk, help protect your brand and deliver the safe, high-quality products your customers expect.
