Agribusiness

In the field of mass consumption, Sofiprotéol and its subsidiary, Lesieur, work to optimize both the nutritional value and taste of their products.

Health food, a major area of innovation for agribusiness

French spending habits reflect a growing interest in products with health benefits. Sofiprotéol makes this trend a priority with its human nutrition business.

• Lesieur’s Isio oils is a line of oil blends that provides essential nutrients (Omega 3, Omega 6, Vitamins E and D) and supports balanced nutrition.
• Lesieur’s Isio ActiSterol salad dressing is enriched with plant sterols that help lower cholesterol.

Organic products, a booming market

Lesieur offers 3 original recipes for organic oils that integrate the principles of organic agriculture :

• sunflower and macadamia,
• rapeseed and grilled sesame,
• extra virgin olive.

Organic agriculture guarantees production processes that are environmentally friendly (e.g., environmental best practices, a high level of biodiversity, natural resource conservation) and follow a sustainable approach to agricultural management

Fleur de Colza, a product developed in concert

Sofiprotéol’s presence throughout the entire value chain enables Lesieur to control the various steps of oil production: purchasing raw materials, crushing, refining, and bottling.
 
Fleur de Colza, for example, is the only product that guarantees first press oil made from 100% French rapeseed. Its Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic acid) level is stable and controlled. To ensure flawless product quality, Lesieur installed a tracing system that tracks its supply and incorporates rigorous quality control, performed by an independent organization.
