PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) announced two new nutrition goals as part of PepsiCo Positive (pep+), the Purchase-based company’s end-to-end strategic transformation strategy.
The first goal involves setting a goal for at least 75% of its global convenient foods portfolio volume to meet or be below category sodium targets by 2030. The second goal calls for a diversification of its ingredients to include more legumes, whole grains, plant-based proteins, fruits and vegetables, and nuts and seeds – the company aims to deliver 145 billion portions of diverse ingredients annually in its global convenient foods portfolio by 2030.
“We are in a constant cycle of innovation to reimagine the foods we make and how we make them so we can bring better choices to our consumers, without ever compromising on taste,” said René Lammers, executive vice president and chief science officer for PepsiCo. “Consumers enjoy our products more than one billion times a day, which provides an opportunity – and the privilege – to have an impact. We set a high bar to improve the nutritional profile of our products, and these new goals reaffirm our ambitions.”
