Odour emissions from food production

Odours are generally considered a pleasant by-product of the manufacture of foods and beverages – they are part of the end product, after all. The beverage and food production sector is extremely diversified, and its odours range from very pleasant (such as those produced by bakeries) to less pleasant (such as those produced by onion processing plants).

Even agreeable food odours can have a negative impact on their surroundings if not managed effectively

But even relatively agreeable odours, such as cocoa or coffee roasting, can cause social conflict and complaints if not adequately managed. Bakeries, too, whose odour is considered to be at the most pleasant extreme of the hedonic scale, can have a negative impact on the surrounding area because of their large scale.
