Here’s a sneak peek at one of our latest stories. HECK! Food, the North Yorkshire sausage manufacturer, is investing £3.5 million to double manufacturing capacity. The expansion, which also includes a vertical farm, will allow the company to produce one million sausages a day. This, it said, will help it achieve its goal of £100 million turnover by 2025. “We will be the first food brand in the world to grow herb and vegetables onsite to put into our popular meat and vegan italia range,” said HECK! co- founder Jamie Keeble. “There are huge benefits to vertical farming. No pesticides or herbicides, less water and food waste, no transport, more efficient production, taste control and better shelf life. “Micro-nutrients will also provide fantastic health benefits as well as giving us a unique selling point. We are farmers originally and it’s really exciting to now be investing in the future of sustainable, cutting-edge agriculture and not relying on imports.” Diary Food & Drink July 5-7, Food & Drink Expo, UK 6, Agrofood & Plastiprintpack Nigeria, Nigeria 11-13, Seafood Expo North America, USA August 26-28, The NAFEM Show, USA September 1-12, WorldFood Istanbul, Turkey 20-22, Vertical Farming World Congress 2021, London & Online 24, Fruit Expo 2021, China 27-28, Plant-Based Foods & Proteins Americas 2021, Online Stay in touch with Food & Drink International For more up to the minute information from the food and drink industry, visit Food & Drink International online at www.fdiforum.net.
