From 10–13 February 2026, our team at SAMPOCHEM attended BIOFACH in Nuremberg, Germany, the world’s leading trade fair for organic food and one of the best places to see where the organic and clean-label market is heading.

BIOFACH is unique because it brings together the full ecosystem: organic brands, ingredient specialists, processors, retailers, certification bodies, and sustainability-focused innovators. For us, it was three packed days of technical discussions, market insights, and new connections, centered on one core question:

How can manufacturers protect quality, safety, and shelf life while staying true to organic and clean-label expectations?

Why we went

Our mission at SAMPOCHEM is to develop sustainability-driven, environmentally friendly, and organic-compliant additive solutions that help producers solve real production challenges without compromising brand positioning.

At BIOFACH 2026, our goals were to:

Connect with organic and clean-label manufacturers across Europe and beyond
Discuss shelf-life, quality stability, and process consistency in real-world production
Understand what’s changing in organic requirements, retailer expectations, and consumer demand
Identify opportunities for trials, partnerships, and long-term cooperation

What we kept hearing: the key themes from BIOFACH 2026

Across conversations with R&D, QA, purchasing, and brand teams, a few themes came up again and again:

Better risk management for acrylamide and furan
Acrylamide adn furan mitigation continues to be a key focus for many baked and fried product categories. Producers are looking for solutions that are robust in real production (not just in lab trials), and that work across different recipes, raw-material variability, and process conditions. At SAMPOCHEM, this is exactly where Acryligo fits: a practical ingredient solution designed to help reduce acrylamide formation in relevant applications while keeping product performance and sensory expectations in mind.
“Clean label” must still work in practice
Organic and clean-label products still need to survive real logistics, real variability in raw materials, and real production constraints. Many teams are looking for solutions that are robust, scalable, and consistent.
Shelf life and stability are strategic priorities
Brands want longer-lasting freshness and stable product quality, but without moving away from organic positioning. This includes focus areas like microbial control, moisture management, and sensory stability.

Our focus at the fair

At SAMPOCHEM, we spend a lot of time translating chemistry into usable outcomes for manufacturers. At BIOFACH, we focused on conversations around:

Quality and shelf-life strategies that fit modern organic expectations
Process reliability and consistency
Ingredient solutions that support sustainability goals and operational simplicity

We left with a clearer picture of where the organic market is moving and where technical partners like SAMPOCHEM can contribute the most value.

If we spoke at the fair: thank you for the great conversations. We’re looking forward to continuing.

If we missed you in Nuremberg: we’d still love to connect.

Let’s talk
