Good Food

We believe that delicious food, especially when shared, can be one of life’s great pleasures, and that informed choices are key to a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Our ongoing journey includes continuously improving the nutritional profile of our products, providing transparent communication about our food and offering new, healthier choices and recognisable ingredients.

• Using ingredients consumers recognise, expect and accept
• Removing palm oil from our frying operations for McCain-branded products by 2025

• Providing clear and transparent nutritional information 
• Expanding our healthier offerings

• Innovating and expanding our healthier offerings in potato, appetiser and new product segments.
• Helping you make informed decisions - as a responsible food manufacturer, we want everyone to enjoy and understand the nutritional content of our products as part of a varied, balanced diet, by providing clear and transparent nutritional information.
• Switching to healthier, planet-friendlier oils - we continue to improve the nutritional profile of our products by replacing palm oil with healthier and more environmentally friendly alternatives.
