Shortage of raw materials requires adapting packaging

Commodity shortages and sharp price increases 
The food industry is struggling with scarcity and high prices of raw materials such as coffee, grains, sugar and vegetable oils. As a result, making products with the usual raw materials is increasingly complicated and has consequences for price agreements.

Alternative sunflower oil on packaging

Due to the war in Ukraine, the availability of sunflower oil is expected to decline sharply. Processors and users of sunflower oil in the food industry are looking for alternatives such as linseed, rapeseed or palm oil.

The right alternative depends on the product in which it is processed.

Change in packaging declaration

If sunflower oil is no longer used in a product, the packaging will have to be adjusted because the ingredients and nutritional value will change.

The change may be temporary or for a longer period. Volkers can help you adjust your packaging quickly and efficiently. For example, by drawing up a label or placing the correct information on a package.

In view of the situation in Ukraine, we hope that this is only temporary.
