Background

The world’s population will increase to reach more than 9 billion by 2050 which means that a 50% increase of food production is needed by 2030. Currently almost 1 billion people are chronically undernourished. What’s more, demand from the energy market (including biofuels) has the potential to change the fundamentals of agricultural market systems.

Context

Unsustainable farming practices, water scarcity and changing weather patterns all have a serious impact on food security, the environment and farming communities. As such, pressure is increasing from governments and campaigning organisations for greater transparency on where food comes from and how it is grown.

Unilever’s position

Our supply chain network includes farmers and plantation owners as well as processors, refiners and traders of raw materials. We will work closely with all of them to transform farming practices and encourage a wider move towards sustainable sourcing.

We will focus first on our top ten agricultural raw material groups, which account for around two thirds of our volume. These are palm oil, paper and board, soy, sugar, tea, fruit and vegetables, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, dairy ingredients and cocoa.

We want to achieve sustainable sourcing without adding a cost burden for our customers and consumers. We are setting industry-leading standards for ourselves and our suppliers.

In 2015 we sourced 60% of our agricultural raw materials sustainably, having made significant progress towards our target of 100% by 2020. We have already achieved the interim milestone of 50% for 2015 which we have set ourselves in 2010 when we launched the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan.

By 2020 we will engage with at least 500,000 smallholder farmers and 75,000 small-scale distributors in our supply network in order to improve their practices and livelihoods.

We have been working on our Sustainable Agriculture Programme for 15 years, and we continue to embed these sustainability principles throughout our supply chains.

We will continue to work together with public authorities, our private sector partners and nongovernmental organisations to achieve our wider objectives.

We are also developing plans to source our non-agricultural (mainly chemical) raw materials in a more responsible way taking into account the environmental and social impact.

Knorr's mission statement is the same as our parent company, Unilever.

UNILEVER MISSION STATEMENT

We work to create a better future every day. We help people feel good, look good and get more out of life with brands and services that are good for them and good for others. We will inspire people to take small everyday actions that can add up to a big difference for the world.

The Knorrox soups, stock cubes and sauces & gravies range now contains reduced salt to meet the South African Sodium Regulations that were first implemented in 2016 and the second final phase in June 2019 to tackle the issue of high blood pressure in South Africa.

The Knorrox soups, stock cubes and sauces & gravies range now contains reduced salt to meet the South African Sodium Regulations that were first implemented in 2016 and the second final phase in June 2019. The regulation affects all food manufacturers. The chefs at Unilever know how loved the Knorrox soups, stock cubes and sauces & gravies are and as such ensured that the new recipe still delivers on flavour and contains all the ingredients that contribute to a great meal.

Yes, all meat variants contains either chicken, beef or mutton which is clearly indicated in the ingredient list.

Because Knorrox has reduced the amount of Salt in the ingredients we have looked to other opportunities to bring you the best tasting meal. In order to provide a similar salt taste experience, Potassium chloride, which is a healthier salt replacer, was now added to our soups and cubes. Potassium replaces sodium (salt) in the ingredient to add taste without increasing salt levels. Potassium is an essential nutrient that we all use for body functions. Other food sources of potassium are milk, fruit and vegetables, cereals and meat.

Approx. 90% of the maize in South Africa is Genetically Modified not only to keep our pricing constant throughout the year but also ensure we have a consistent supply, any of our products with Maize Flour will therefore contain GM ingredients and will be labelled in the ingredient list on pack.

Rajah Mild Masala has a unique blend of high quality spices such as roasted coriander, paprika, methee and garlic. The masala contains a mild level of chilli and provides mouth-watering aroma and delicious flavour.

Consumers perceive masala as authentic own mix of spices that is blended at different shops. Rajah saw this as a gap and to bring convenience and simplicity where consumers do not have to go different shops to get their ideal mix of masala. Rajah now offers the perfect blend of authentic spices.

Rajah Mild Masala contains the allergen wheat gluten.

No the Mild Masala contains wheat gluten from the wheat brand that is added which acts as a carrier for the pure spices. It allows for sautéing of spices without burning. It has the same fineness as the spices, and for that reason we use it as it doesn’t add a flavour, but it carries the fine particles of the spices.

As part of our natural choices journey, Unilever have started to source steam sterilized herbs and spices from our suppliers and thus eliminating the need to radurise our herbs and spices. Steam sterilization is an effective technique as radurisation in ensuring consumer food safety and has been used with greater frequency throughout the world due to greater consumer acceptance than radurisation. It can have minimal impact to sensory characteristics such as volatile oil and colour of the herbs and spices due to the use of high temperature & pressure.

The team at Unilever have worked with our suppliers to ensure consistent quality of steam sterilized herbs and spices so that our consumers continue to enjoy the same great taste and appearance of Robertsons, Rajah, Aromat, Knorrox and Knorr products without the need to label as part of the ingredient list.

Rajah is excited to introduce a new range of dry sauces that will focus on Indian cuisine with variants such as Chicken Korma, Butter Chicken, Beef Madras and Chicken Tikka.

All four products do not contain any allergens within the actual products but may contain trace amount of the allergens such as cow’s milk, egg, soya and wheat gluten due to contact with mixers and processing lines.

Robertsons is one of our leading brands in the market. For its long and outstanding existence in the market, Robertsons products need changes to keep up with growing consumer trends and removal of MSG was the first selected option with the purpose of making our products more consumer friendly and being available to the consumer that have concerns around usage of MSG.

The removal of MSG in Robertsons has undergone various sensory evaluations to ensure that the product still delivers the same great quality taste that Robertsons brings to your food.

Similar to glutamate occurring naturally in foods such as cheese, milk, mushrooms, meat, fish and vegetables, monosodium glutamate (MSG) enhances natural aromas present in foods. It has been safely used for more than a hundred years to balance the savoury taste in bouillons, seasonings and savoury snacks. MSG helps offering great tasting and affordable foods, and it can help to reduce the salt content of foods, thereby supporting consumers to lower their salt intakes without giving in on taste (for more on salt reduction targets and performance click link: https://www.unilever.com/sustainable-living/).

MSG is a food ingredient used widely and proven to be safe in scientific studies and confirmed by regulatory authorities around the world. However, we recognise that some consumers have questions about food containing MSG or might have a preference for MSG-free products. Therefore we include MSG in the ingredient list so that people can see when it has been added to our products, and we provide choices by offering a range of foods without added MSG.

Cool, dry place. But also ensure that you minimize the use over a steaming pot as the moisture might cause the spice to lump or go hard.

This is likely due to moisture uptake from the environment during use and storage of the spice blend. We use pure herbs and spices in our products with some extra special ingredients to give you more flavour. This combination is sensitive to high humidity, so if exposed for a prolonged period to steam or the atmosphere lumping might occur.

Yes, All the Robertsons products are still certified Halaal by SANHA and Kosher certified by UOS.

Our cinnamon is globally sourced and being a natural food ingredient there are situations of crop inconsistency. To obtain a perfect blend for flavour delivery in food dishes, Robertsons used to mix cinnamon and cassia. Both cinnamon and cassia indeed belong to the same family of plants (and even the same genus – cinnamomum) and hence used interchangeably with an addition cinnamon flavour at 0.5% to maintain flavour at all times during its shelf-life.

However, as part of the Robertsons natural journey, Robertsons now offers pure steam treated cinnamon with no added flavours that maintains and delivers consistent flavour in your Robertsons Ground Cinnamon. Pure cinnamon that is not blended with cassia will be more fragrant and aromatic.

Regulation change demands weight declaration for ground herbs and spices where we are currently declaring volume (i.e. 100ml). For consistency and clarity for the consumer (we regularly receive consumer complaints around conversion between ml and gram and perceived discrepancy between bottle and cartons) we decided to change to gram weight declaration across the total bottle range.

Please ensure you use a dry spoon to scoop out your desired quantity of product from the sachet.

Vegan bolognaise will last safely in the fridge when stored correctly for at least three days. Make sure you keep your leftovers in an airtight Tupperware dish with a lid and keep in the fridge. Some say it is even more yummy the next day!

Absolutely! You can either pop it in the microwave for a minute or two to reheat or warm it up on the stove in a small pot.

Vegan cheese can be made from a variety of different sources including cashew nuts, coconut and tapioca. We recommend trying a few different flavours and options to find your favourite.

Barley and wheat are both cereal grains and visually look quite similar. Barley has a higher nutritional value than wheat because it is consumed with the outer layer of bran still on, whereas this is removed when producing wheat.

If a recipe calls for cheese, you can substitute it with vegan cheese. From white sauces to creamy pasta sauces, vegan cheese works very well as a dairy substitute.

Vegan cheese contains no animal products in like milk; therefore, it is more suitable to someone who follows a vegan lifestyle.

In order to get the pearl barley to be fluffy in this recipe, the key is to stir it often. Once you’ve added your liquid stock, keep gently stirring the barley until the texture is just right. We suggest taking it off the heat when it’s al dente, but if you like it a bit softer, let it simmer for a few minutes more.

Again, as long as you’ve stored your leftover lasagne well, it should last safely in the fridge for up to three days. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for best results.

If it still looks like there is a lot of water inside, turn down the heat to 180 °C and let it simmer for another 10 – 15 minutes before grilling.

Indeed! Vegan lasagne keeps very well in the freezer and is a great dish to pre-make and freeze for a quick and easy dinner later in the week.

There are so many options here. Take a look at our favourites: 1.) Use lentils or kidney beans, 2.) Use roasted vegetables, 3.) Use tofu or soya mince.

Simply follow this easy recipe and you’re guaranteed to create a vegan lasagne that is mouth-wateringly delicious! https://www.whatsfordinner.co.za/recipe/pasta/212722-vegan-lasagne/

A vegan omelette does not use any kind of egg or milk in it. Instead, it uses chickpea flour as a great substitute.

In this recipe, eggs are replaced with chickpea flour. You simply whisk the chickpea flour with yeast, baking powder and Knorr Aromat Naturally Tasty until smooth to use as your ‘egg’ base.

Chickpea flour, when mixed into a paste, is a great egg alternative. You can also use chickpea flour when baking as a good gluten-free alternative.

Regular flour is ground up wheat, chickpea flour is ground up chickpeas. Chickpea flour doesn’t contain any gluten and is a good flour alternative for people who choose to lead a gluten-free lifestyle.

You can use any flour substitute if you prefer, like oat flour, almond flour or millet and quinoa too.

A vegan burger is a burger without meat essentially. Vegan burgers make use of a range of other ingredients to create a burger ‘patty’ which can be grilled or braaied like traditional burgers. In this recipe we substitute meat for a patty made from chickpeas, sweetcorn and other delicious vegan ingredients.

Depending on what ingredients you use as well as what toppings you choose for your vegan burger, it can be a healthier option but not always lighter in calories.

By blending the vegan ingredients – in this case sweetcorn and chickpeas – you create a smooth textured paste that can be patted together to form a patty.

There are many different kinds of recipes that use plant-based ingredients as substitutes for meat when creating patties. Some recipes call for soya mince, tofu, or kidney beans. Why not try out a few different kinds of vegan burger recipes until you find the one you love the most?

Vegan cottage pie is a plant-based twist on the traditional Shepherds Pie recipe that many families know and love. In this recipe vegetables make the base of the cottage pie filling instead of traditional ground beef.

It is essentially the exact same recipe, yes. However, the recipe does not contain any meat or animal products and substitutes vegetables like carrots and mushrooms for the meat element.

You can use absolutely any kinds of vegetables that your family loves in this vegan cottage pie recipe. You can use tomatoes, corn, butternut, zucchinis, aubergines and much more to create your tomato ‘meat’ filling.

No, the topping of this cottage pie as well as the original shepherd’s pie is mashed potato. However instead of using butter and milk in the mashed potato, you use vegan butter and coconut cream.

Cottage Pie originated from England and Ireland in the late 1700s when potatoes were becoming a readily available and affordable crop to use.

Once again, instead of using traditional ground beef or chicken, meat is substituted for vegan ingredients like black beans, chickpeas, and lentils.

Vegan chilli is highly nutritious because it is packed with vegetables and spices that offer high nutritional values.

To thicken your vegan chilli, you can either simmer it for slightly longer, or add slightly less water to the recipe.

If that’s what you fancy, then why not? Although, we have a feeling that if you eat it every day you might end up getting sick of it, so why not try a range of different kinds of vegan recipes to give yourself a flavour boost and change every day.

You can use absolutely any kind of beans in a vegan chilli including kidney beans, black beans, samp beans, cannellini beans or chickpeas too.

A vegan pasta simply swaps out any meat, chicken or fish in the recipe for another ingredient that is plant-based and does not contain any animal products. In this recipe, nutritious vegetables like carrots and mushrooms are used to create the base. If you don’t want to eat traditional wheat pasta which may contain butter or eggs, you can opt for vegan pasta or vegetable noodles like butternut spaghetti or courgette noodles too.

There are many different kinds of vegan pastas available. Some are made from potatoes or sweet potatoes, but others use a variety of rice, beans and legumes to create the pasta. You can try and make your own pasta at home or save time by buying a few packets of vegan pasta to keep in your pantry cupboard.

Dried pasta does not contain eggs, and mainly contains wheat flour and semolina flour which makes it vegan-friendly to eat.

Traditional fresh pasta makes use of wheat flour mixed with water and eggs. Vegans do not eat eggs and therefore need a plant-based alternative to fresh pasta.
