Read your March 2025 Food & Beverage Reporter Magazine

In the March edition of Food & Beverage Reporter we focus on what makes the South African food & beverage industry uniquely our own. We kick off with Rainbow Chicken’s continuing focus on innovation which is the cornerstone of its product development. From leading the way in pre-cooked chicken in 2006, to ready to eat and ready to braai products to its focus on flavour innovations and understanding the science behind taste combined with advanced food tehnology has made Rainbow Chicken a firm favourite with South African consumers. Don’t miss out reading all about it. 

We celebrate Synercore’s achievement (once again) of FSSC 22 000 certification at its dry blending production facility Allmark Foods in Pretoria. This achievement underscored the company’s unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest food safety and quality standards in dry blending and packing – and can put suppliers minds at ease that they are offering the very best in ingredients. Synercore’s comprehensive Food Safety Management System provides a strong framework to mitigrate risk, enhance operational efficiency and meet the stringent requirement of global customers. 

In our Processing Tech feature, Endress+Hauser brings us insights on how selecting the right instrumentation for your process is a critical driver for efficiency and success. Its FLEX segmentation simplifies this process, ensuring you get the perfect fit for your needs, whether you’re looking for fundamental reliability or cutting edge performance. We also tackle the impact of downtime and its impact on productivity, profitability and customer satisfaction. The new InvisiPac Hot Melt System from AQS offers a revolutionary solution that goes beyond mere possibility, transforming downtime into a thing of the past. 

While we know that things can feel tough at the moment, there are some fantastic new investments impacting the food & beverage industry. One of the highlights must surely be the commercial partnership between Soufflet Malt and Heineken Beverages. As part of this agreement, Soufflet Malt will invest 100 million Euro to build a new malting facility, strategically located next to Heineken’s Sedibeng brewery. This is expected to be operational by mid-2027.
