Healthy Nutrition Sidetrack

Join us to provide future healthy food to our growing population by bringing innovative nutritional concepts and technologies towards the end-consumer

THE CHALLENGE

The future for food presents challenges and opportunities regarding both the quality and quantity of our nutrition. Consumers seek personalised solutions for their nutritional needs that allow for customisation and transparency. The increasing awareness of the effect of our nutrition on our health is changing the way we select and consume food. It is evolving towards a healthier way of utilising new sources, such as plant-based ingredients, fibers, functional proteins, sweetening alternatives, and peptides. More people are looking for functional food that supports improving everyday diets, personal resistance levels and the immune system.
