“We have identified these categories as offering substantial potential for growth, with concerns about health and diet prevalent,” a spokesperson for the company told just-food this afternoon (22 April).


“We are interested in growing our sales domestically and internationally,” the spokesperson added.


Osem owns 58% of meat-substitute manufacturer Tivall Foods. According to the group’s 2007 annual report, Tivall controls 70% of the meat-free market in Italy and is the market leader in the Netherlands and Sweden.
