S01 E20: The Food Scientist’s Approach: Practical Innovation & Sustainable Packaging
In this episode of Recipes for Success, we sit down with Nancy Tregunno, a seasoned food
scientist and founder of Tregunno Food Solutions, who has spent over 30 years helping food and beverage companies develop products, optimize processes, and make smarter packaging decisions.
Nancy brings a rare blend of scientific expertise and real-world experience, supporting small to mid-sized businesses as they navigate everything from formulation to food-package interactions. Lately, her work has focused on one of the industry’s most talked-about topics: sustainable packaging.
With a practical and evidence-based perspective, Nancy shares how food companies can reduce their environmental footprint without compromising on product quality or shelf life. She offers strategies that resonate with both retailers and consumers—focusing on measurable, meaningful changes rather than marketing buzzwords.
