While Red Dye 40 is currently considered "safer," it's not without controversy. Many food safety advocates have raised concerns about its widespread use and potential effects, especially in children.

Great stuff Food Entrepreneurship Academy. There is a definite consumer shift towards healthier beverage options, which also brings to the forefront another interesting topic in the change of behaviour around alcohol. We recently came across a some interesting stats from the Wine Industry Network that millennials are less likely to drink alcohol compared to previous generations. Only 62% of individuals in this age group (especially those under the age of 35) reported consuming alcohol, a decrease from 72% a decade ago! An earlier article from Business Insider talks about how the rise of social media has made millennials more conscious of how their actions are perceived. Concerns about maintaining a positive image online have led many to avoid excessive drinking. Additionally, a notable portion of this demographic prefers activities like going to the gym over drinking at bars, with 57% indicating they would choose fitness over nightlife. The better-for-you movement shows no signs of slowing down and we're down for it! #beveragetrends #consumertrends #healthtrends

While Valentines Day is a just a single day in our calendars (and many would argue, a capitalist ploy for us to spend more), it does bring up an important topic of sexual health. Now more than ever, health and wellness brands are addressing ‘taboo’ topics and pioneering a new era of open dialogue and innovative solutions. The industry is re-evaluating the balance between product and experience to elevate desired functional results. A long time, we have focused on just a portion of sexual health. Sexual health goes beyond the absence of disease or dysfunction, it a comprehensive state of wellbeing encompassing physical, emotional, mental, and social aspects. Today, we look at just a few examples of sexual pleasure products that are sprouting around the world - from chocolates to organic supplements, oral sprays and even juices! It's fascinating to see this new market picking up pace to cater to a historically downplayed audience. #fnb #foodtrends #sexualhealth #opendialogue #womenshealth inewtrition

Milk has long been praised for its calcium, protein, and vitamin content. However, it lacks dietary fibre, an essential nutrient for digestive health and overall well-being. This absence has created an opportunity for innovation in the dairy sector - fibre-fortified milk! Manufacturers are continuously exploring ways to fortify milk with multifunctional fibres to: ➖ enhance the nutritional profile of dairy milk, and; ➖ compete more effectively with fibre-rich plant-based alternatives While adding fibre to milk is promising, there are several factors to consider: ❇️ Taste and Texture: The primary challenge is maintaining milk's familiar taste and creamy texture. Some fibres can alter these properties, potentially affecting consumer acceptance. ❇️ Solubility: The chosen fibre must dissolve well in milk without causing separation or sedimentation. ❇️ Stability: The fibre should remain stable during processing and throughout the product's shelf life. ❇️ Nutritional Impact: It's crucial to ensure that the added fibre doesn't interfere with the absorption of milk's inherent nutrients. ❇️ Consumer Perception: Clear communication about the benefits of fiber-fortified milk is essential to gain consumer trust and interest. Fibre fortification represents an exciting shift towards more functional foods. It's an exciting time for the dairy industry as we work to create products that not only taste great but also offer enhanced nutritional benefits. As we continue to innovate, we're not just reformulating milk – we're reimagining its role in a balanced diet. The potential to offer consumers a product that combines the traditional benefits of milk with the added advantage of dietary fibre is truly exciting. What are your thoughts on fibre-fortified milk? Would you be interested in trying such a product? #dairyinnovation #functionalfoods #nutritiontrends #foodscience #futureoffood

The global ashwagandha extract market is projected to reach $2.5 billion by 2031 with continued consumer interest in stress reduction and mental health support. Now commonplace in dietary supplements and nutraceuticals, we've also seen some interesting food and beverage applications: ➖ Functional beverages (energy drinks, herbal teas, smoothies) ➖ Snacks and chocolates ➖ Ready-to-drink adaptogenic teas ➖ Gummies ➖ Coffee and milk alternatives While ashwagandha doesn’t display toxicity in clinical trials, adulteration is a common issue that can make it unsafe for use or consumption. For example, in Canada, ashwagandha root is classified as an active ingredient of licensed natural health products (NHPs), requiring pre-marketing authorisation from the Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD) and manufacture in compliance with NHP Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). In the United States, ashwagandha is not listed as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for any uses in conventional food products, however, it is permitted for use as a dietary supplement component. The use of ashwagandha in FMCG products can be tricky and there are lots of elements to consider. We're experts in food safety, quality, regulation and risk mitigation.

Most of the purchases consumers make are emotional so shouldn't the way we design our products also be emotional? We should be thinking about the emotional aspect from the very beginning of the #productdesign and development stages in order to achieve true consumer-centricity. Emotional design encompasses the design of a product through the manipulation of the external sensory qualities the product has to offer a consumer where one can actually feel the benefit, such as being more energised (e.g. Red Bull), healthier gut (e.g. All-Bran) or sustained energy (e.g. Belvita). A human-centred design process workshop (i.e. Design Thinking) can help teams to create a compelling empathy map and detailed journey of the customer, and an analysis to frame the opportunity from the customers point of view based on key insights. This is followed by ideation, prototyping and testing. Multi-disciplinary teams must stay agile and co-create to maintain and grow competitive advantage.

The rise of Anti-Obesity Medications (AOMs) presents a unique opportunity (and moral obligation) for the food and beverage industry to provide tailored support for individuals on their weight management journey. As personalised nutrition experts, these are our top tips to succeed in this space: 💪 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: AOM-related weight loss often includes a significant loss of muscle mass (20-40%). This highlights the critical need for high-protein, low-calorie food and beverage options to support muscle health and prevent sarcopenia. 🫃 𝐆𝐮𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭: Many AOM users report gastrointestinal side effects. Formulating products with easily digestible ingredients, prebiotics, and probiotics can significantly improve their overall experience and adherence to treatment. ❤️🩹 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: Quick fixes don't work! Weight regain after discontinuing AOMs is a huge challenge. Developing strategies and products that promote satiety and support long-term weight maintenance is absolutely crucial. But success isn't just about profits. At inewtrition, we hold ourselves to very high standards - Honesty, transparency, and accountability are essential, inseparable components, without which nothing we aspire to can be achieved. Remember, our solutions have the power to change lives. #weightmanagement #personalisednutrition #AOM #healthandwellness #nutrition #foodscience
