In order to implement actions recommended by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) 2013-2020, PepsiCo took an aggressive step. The leading food and beverage company decided to build a research facility where their team could explore how to convert their products from fried to baked goods. PepsiCo chose Haskell, a trusted partner over 25 years, to construct its first research and development center for baked goods.
