Convenience

Publications

New consumer expectations and product innovations characterise the markets for convenience foods. With our quality and specialised work, we promote the optimisation of product developments and food technology production processes in terms of product acceptance. The Committee for Convenience was established in 2024 to link the Commission's work and DLG's specialised work. 

It deals with the frozen food, ready meals, fish and fish products and delicatessen product groups and their production. On the one hand, the goal is to constantly revise and adapt the existing DLG test procedures for the DLG quality test or to develop them for new products. Secondly, product descriptions are to be developed as standards. A further goal is to offer a platform for professional exchange on current research issues, to discuss and work on current research topics and to consistently develop this branch of science further.

The DLG Committee for Convenience

The committee members are experts from business, research and education. By organising conferences or publishing specialist articles, the committee has the opportunity to position itself in the industry and to seek and maintain an exchange with the specialist public. The DLG technical programme at Anuga FoodTec and Inhouse Farming also offers the opportunity to exchange ideas. 

The committee meets twice a year digitally and in person at different locations where possible. Guest participation is possible on request.
