Two of six shortlisted Slovenian private-label food makers changed owners in 2026

Two of six shortlisted Slovenian private-label food makers changed owners in 2026

A buyer guide shortlists six Slovenian private-label food makers, from Incom Leone ice cream to plant-based specialist Organa, without claiming they control the country's output. In 2026 AGRANA bought Fruit Emba and Atlantic Grupa bought Osem, so supplier files need updating.

  • 01AGRANA completed its Fruit Emba deal on April 23, 2026 and Atlantic Grupa completed its Osem deal on August 31, 2026, so supplier records for those two plants may need new ownership details.
  • 02Register income figures for these firms are company-wide. Incom's €189.49m includes its own Leone brand, so it says nothing about how much private-label capacity is actually free.

GLP-1 shoppers push frozen meal tray choices to the start of development

GLP-1 shoppers push frozen meal tray choices to the start of development

GLP-1 users want smaller, protein-dense frozen meals, and that demand is pushing frozen processors and tray suppliers to make packaging decisions earlier. The tray is becoming part of the recipe. Speed to market increasingly depends on whether a tray runs on existing sealing lines and holds up from freezer to microwave.

  • 01In a portion-controlled frozen entrée, tray choice belongs in the same development meeting as the recipe, because a tray that needs retooling or warps on reheat delays the SKU.

Rice startup NIVERA says its edible coating nearly triples produce shelf life

Rice startup NIVERA says its edible coating nearly triples produce shelf life

NIVERA, a startup that grew out of doctoral research at Rice University, has developed a thin, edible coating that nearly triples produce shelf life in its own testing. It is starting with avocados and berries. Daniel Preston's mechanical engineering lab at Rice contributed expertise in spray-coating applications and in translating laboratory discoveries into practical technologies.

  • 01NIVERA's edible coating nearly tripled shelf life for certain fruits and vegetables in the company's own testing, and avocados and berries are first in line.
  • 02Earlier Rice research produced an egg-based coating that doubled the shelf life of avocados and bananas. NIVERA, a startup built on Rice doctoral work, says its coating of proteins and fibers can nearly triple the shelf life of certain produce, based on the company's own testing.
  • 03The useful question for a shipper or retailer is how many extra days the coating adds under that buyer’s own temperatures, packaging and transit times, because Rice News did not describe the startup test conditions.
