Foodpro 2026: Visit Azelis to formulate for better today!

We're excited to announce that we'll be exhibiting this year at Foodpro 2026 in Melbourne, from 26 - 29 July 2026.

Under the theme Formulated for Better, our Food & Nutrition team will showcase how ingredient innovation and technical expertise can help manufacturers create products that are not only better-for-you, but also practical, enjoyable and commercially relevant.

In Australia, food and beverage choices continue to be shaped by a balance of taste, cost, health and trust. According to Innova Market Insights, taste/flavour and cost remain core purchase motivators across categories such as soft drinks, dairy, bread, snacks and meal preparation, while health and nutrition priorities are gaining influence through claims such as high/source of protein or fibre, reduced sugar/fat, and functional ingredients. Australian consumers are also showing a strong preference for real ingredients/natural, no artificial flavours or colours, traditionally made/crafted, and locally sourced claims across many food categories.

These trends point to a clear opportunity for manufacturers: to create food and beverage products that meet consumer expectations for better nutrition, enjoyable taste, cleaner labels and commercial practicality — without compromising on everyday appeal.
