Commitment description

We envision a regenerative and equitable food system producing healthy, safe and nutritious food for all. We want to contribute positively to the transformation of the food system through innovation and reformulation by continuously providing food products with higher nutritional values, and inspiring people to cook more nutritious via the recipes that we provide on-pack and online.

Unilever's biggest Food brand Knorr developed the Future 50 Foods Report which was published in 2019 and provides a tangible solution to help improve the health of people and the planet via our meals. It begins by outlining the food system issues and goes on to identify 50 of the foods we should eat more of. The intention is to make the well-supported recommendation of eating more plants understandable and tangible. The report is written by Knorr and WWF-UK with input and review from many external experts. Knorr is working together with suppliers and smallholder farmers to sustainably grow the Future 50 Foods, which have been and will continue to be integrated into the Knorr products, programs and partnerships.

Future 50 Foods are also critical for our commitment to put food good for people and the planet on 7 bn plates.

This commitment is aligned with the Responsible Business Pledge, commitment area Promote Healthy Eating.
