Kignon, which makes the “Handi-Gaspi” biscuit, received the Shared Value Award at The Foodies 2026, presented at SIAL Paris on 18 October 2026. The company converts around 30 tonnes of unsold bread a year into biscuits and creates job opportunities for people with disabilities.

The initiative links food waste prevention with social inclusion: surplus bread is recovered and processed into a shelf-stable product, while production offers employment to workers with disabilities.

The Shared Value category recognises SMEs that create long-term value for people, planet and business, through decent work, skills, fair partnerships and responsible sourcing.
