Cargill has opened a research centre in China to develop foods that appeal to the fast-changing tastes of the country’s consumers.

The team of nearly 50 includes researchers experienced in animal protein, edible oils, sweeteners, starches, cocoa and texturizing solutions.

Called Cargill ONE, the innovation center in Shanghai will seek to create food products and flavours for its customers in China.

Cargill says the center will also be a platform for public education on food safety and nutrition.
