Felix Ahlers, Chairman of the Executive Board Frosta AG

Felix Ahlers completed his culinary training at Emile Tabourdiau’s 2-star Michelin restaurant in Paris and with Alberto Ciarla in Rome. He then studied economics in France. After working for pasta manufacturer Delverde and Sheraton, he joined FRoSTA in 1999. He has been Chairman of the Executive Board of FRoSTA since 2010. He was instrumental in the introduction of the FRoSTA Purity Law in 2003. Since then, FRoSTA has dispensed with all additives and reduced its product range by 50%.
“When I started at FRoSTA, there were more food chemists working there than chefs. Back then, the company’s own employees never had FRoSTA dishes for lunch,” says Felix Ahlers. “We were all convinced that it was possible to produce food on a large scale according to the rules of good cuisine. However, the implementation of the “Purity Law” was longer and more painful than we had imagined.” FRoSTA has been declaring the carbon footprint for all products and the countries of origin of all ingredients since 2009. FRoSTA is also working on converting its packaging to paper.
