Mulino Bianco's Buongrano biscuit has received FoodChain ID Regenerative Agriculture (RGN) Certification for its soft wheat flour supply, making it the first Italian bakery product certified with 100% regenerative soft wheat flour.

The certification provides independent verification of regenerative outcomes and will be communicated on-pack via the FoodChain ID RGN mark. FoodChain ID's Regenerative Agriculture Certification is globally applicable and outcome-based, aligned with ISO 17065 principles, with options to ensure traceability to market.

The certification framework promotes agriculture practices that restore degraded soils, support biodiversity, sequester carbon and build climate resilience.

The Buongrano project launched in 2018 as part of La Carta del Mulino, the brand's code of practice for sustainable soft wheat cultivation, with goals for product quality, biodiversity protection and fair recognition of farmers' work. Mulino Bianco has committed to extend regenerative soft wheat flours across all product categories by 2030.

Dr Chetan Parmar, Senior Vice President of Technical Services for Europe and Asia at FoodChain ID, said the outcome-based approach gives companies the confidence to scale regenerative practices, substantiate claims and connect their efforts to climate-finance pathways.

FoodChain ID serves over 30,000 companies across the global supply chain, delivering technology-enabled solutions and technical expertise in product development, regulatory compliance, food safety certification, product certification and testing.
