Participation in IFFA 2025 represents a precious opportunity to present its advanced solutions in the sector of flavours and functional ingredients, capable of responding to the needs of a constantly evolving market. From research into new formulations for low sodium cured meats and natural preservatives, to flavours capable of enhancing the organoleptic characteristics of products, the company confirms its commitment to quality, food safety and innovation.
IFFA 2025 will be the occasion for Europrodotti to present EF 1750 Stagionplus, a new selected blend of flavours and food ingredients destined to revolutionize the production process of cured salami and pork, beef and turkey meat.

New trends in the meat and protein sector: sustainability, innovation and diversification
The meat and protein markets are going through a phase of profound transformation, driven by the need for environmental sustainability, attention to consumer health and the development of new food models. Among the main trends are the growing demand for alternative proteins – such as vegetable proteins or those derived from precision fermentations – and the optimization of production processes through digitalization and robotics.
At the same time the modern consumer demands more natural products, without sacrificing taste and tradition. Companies of the sector are therefore called upon to reformulate their products, improve energy efficiency, reduce waste and adopt innovative technological solutions. In this scenario Europrodotti plays a strategic role, offering functional ingredients and flavours capable of responding to new market needs, combining artisanal know-how and scientific innovation.
The participation of Europrodotti in IFFA 2025 underlines the company’s commitment to innovation and quality, strengthening its role as a leading player in the international panorama of the food and cured meat industry. The event represents an unmissable opportunity to discover the latest innovations in the sector and for Europrodotti to consolidate its leadership in providing advanced solutions for the processing and production of meat products.
