It is expected to enable the business to deliver small volume, flexible, and efficient production of products that comply with food contact requirements.

The project is anticipated to deliver incremental sales in a new category and generate further sector growth through cake and cookie micro-businesses.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
