The food industry is Belgium’s leading industrial sector. Food
companies account for a significant proportion of industrial activity,
creating direct and indirect employment for hundreds of thousands
of people. As the Belgian food industry federation, FEVIA aims to
promote the sustainable development of the sector by cooperating
with all stakeholders. Its membership includes large companies
and SMEs; local, small-scale producers and companies engaged
in mass-production based on leading-edge technology. FEVIA
also cooperates with 29 associations each of which represents a
specific sector of the food industry.
With Food.be – Small country. Great food.
The sector highlights the quality, diversity and innovation of Belgian
food across the world.

Specornoos is an ice cream cone with a difference…
innovative, eco-conscious and packed with taste
and crunch. The main ingredient is flour from fresh,
unsold bread that would otherwise be thrown away.
We reverse the baking process to extract the original
flour, an innovation that helps reduce needless food
waste. The flour is then blended with speculoos biscuit
spices, giving the cones a unique golden-brown colour.
Specornoos cones are distinguished from others by
their amazing crispiness and lower calorie content.
Our cones are packed in single-wall corrugated
cardboard boxes. These are recyclable, as is the plastic
inner lining protecting the cones from humidity. This
efficient packaging and the addition of magnesium
carbonate allows the cones to be preserved for up to
a year. Specornoos cones are produced industrially to
ensure consistency in taste, shape and colour. They
are intended for ice cream vendors and are packed in
standard 150-unit boxes commonly used by retailers
(35 x 25 x 25 cm). Trade buyers can easily order our
cones online. They can expect delivery within 5 working
days. Express delivery can also be arranged at a small
extra cost. Buyers can also collect orders direct at our
factory. Specornoos is a quirky, original, crunchy and
tasty fusion of two well-known products, the ice cream
cone and the Belgian speculoos biscuit. It’s also our
contribution to the fight against the excessive, daily
waste of bread.
