Background
Marks and Spencer (M&S) is a leading British retailer bringing quality, great value food to millions of customers around the world. Their food is known for its quality, freshness and innovation credentials.
M&S do not own any food factories. However, they work closely with over 600 supplier partners around the world to deliver our own-label products to our own specifications from farm to fork for our customers.
Challenge
Marks and Spencer are looking to hear from innovators who have new, interesting and innovative, sustainably sourced ingredients that can be used within food products to support health reformulation and trends.
This could include:
- Ingredients with functional properties to support health reformulation
- Ingredients with health benefits
- Emerging trend ingredients from around the world e.g. gut health
A period of exclusivity for the ingredient within the UK would a benefit.
Note: If you currently deal with Marks and Spencer directly, you can either contact them through the platform or directly through your usual contacts.
What's in it for you?
A successful collaboration would mean either working directly with M&S or one of our supplier partners in implementing the solution and working as a collective team to bring the innovation to market.
