World Nutrition Day is celebrated every May 28, a day promoted by organizations such as the Spanish Federation of Nutrition, Food and Dietetics Societies (FESNAD) and supported by the World Health Organization, which aims to raise awareness of the importance of adopting healthy eating habits to improve quality of life and prevent disease.
In a global context where health and sustainability are becoming more closely linked, at Importaco we want to renew our commitment to balanced, responsible nutrition based on scientific evidence. We believe that food is essential for taking care of people and the planet, and we work every day to develop products that are aligned with this purpose.
What is Importaco’s contribution to nutrition?
Our strategy for product development and our collaboration model with suppliers aim to guarantee the nutritional quality of everything we produce. These are some of the main pillars that make the difference:
1. Rigorous selection of raw materials
We work with farmers and producers committed to responsible and sustainable practices. This relationship allows us to ensure the traceability and nutritional value of the nuts, dried fruits and mineral water that are part of our offer.
2. Innovation in healthy eating
Our R&D team collaborates with technology centers, universities and customers to develop products adapted to modern lifestyles. We promote alternatives that meet the needs of diets for certain intolerances, such as gluten, life choices, such as veganism, and pathologies such as diabetes, without compromising taste or quality.
3. Promotion of a balanced diet
At Importaco we encourage the moderate and conscious consumption of foods such as nuts, which provide healthy fats, vegetable proteins, fiber and essential micronutrients. Various studies support their positive effect on cardiovascular health, glycemic control and the prevention of chronic diseases.
Nutrition and sustainability: a necessary connection
In line with the Sustainable Development Goals, our approach goes beyond the final product. We are committed to an efficient and environmentally friendly value chain, reducing our water footprint, promoting responsible farming and minimizing waste throughout the production process.
Because good nutrition is not only good for people, it is also good for the planet.
Our commitment continues
This World Nutrition Day, we would like to thank all the people who are part of Importaco and who help make our mission possible: to offer food that improves the consumer’s wellbeing and promotes a healthier and more sustainable future.
We will continue to make progress in research, education and development so that more and more people can have access to quality nutrition.
