🔎 Why are many food processors still not fortifying their products, even where it’s mandatory? 💡While the benefits of Large-Scale Food Fortification (LSFF) are well established—every $1 invested is expected to generate $23 in societal benefits—compliance remains a challenge. Understanding the economic constraints food processors face is key to unlocking greater compliance and maximizing impact. 📢 Hystra is excited to share its latest white paper, offering new insights into the economic realities of fortification and actionable recommendations to drive change. Join us for a two-session webinar where we’ll present our findings and host expert discussions on strengthening fortification efforts (🔗 register with the links in the comments): 🔹 Session 1 – Improving transparency on fortification costs to enable a constructive dialogue between public and private sector 📅 Thursday, March 13 at 1 PM GMT 🎤 Speakers: Jonathan Gorstein (Senior Program Officer, Gates Foundation) Manpreet Chadha (Nutrition Specialist, UNICEF) Shawn Baker (Chief Program Officer, Helen Keller Intl) 🔹 Session 2 – Fortifying the business case for the private sector and building sustainable initiatives to ensure long-term compliance 📅 Tuesday, March 18 at 1 PM GMT 🎤 Speakers: Greg S Garrett (Executive Director, ATNi (Access to Nutrition initiative)) Tiago Van Zeller (Senior Fortification Specialist, IFC - International Finance Corporation) Millers for Nutrition (Representative TBC) 📩 Join the conversation and help shape the future of food fortification!

🍌 Wrap-up and reflections from F&B company visits in Tanzania ATNi's Mark Wijne and Freddie von Kaufmann spent 2 weeks in Tanzania visiting Food & Beverage (F&B) companies for the 2025 Tanzania Market Assessment, part of the broader 2025 East Africa Market Assessments. 🥔 Tanzania’s packaged F&B sector represents a growing proportion of the Tanzanian food market. While this offers opportunities to increase access to healthy and nutritious foods, including products fortified with essential micronutrients, care must be taken to ensure increasing sales of less healthy options does not translate into increased prevalence of NCDs. We appreciate the opportunity to have constructive dialogues with companies on their role in providing affordable nutritious foods for Tanzanians, and how our research can provide useful insights for comparing and improving nutrition activities. We look forward to continued engagement with the companies over the coming months, ahead of the publication of our East Africa Market Assessment in June. 🍊 Thank you to the companies and staff for their time and engagement with us: Sayona Drinks (Motisun Group), HARISH NAIR, Bakhresa Group, hussein sufian, MeTL Group, Mohammed Dewji, Tanga Fresh Limited, Alnoor Hussein, Darsh Industries Limited Tanzania, BR Gavane, Kilimanjaro Fresh, fidelis madzorera, Asas Group of Companies, Fuad jaffer, Iringa Food and Beverages, Sohail Thakore, Milkcom/Watercom, and Salem AL-Riyami. Stay tuned as we convene with policymakers from the East African Region in April to identify opportunities to drive healthier diets through regulation... 👉 For more information on the East Africa Market Assessments: https://lnkd.in/eq8FnTzj #FoodandBeverage #Healthy #Nutrition #Micronutrients #FoodFortification

🥫 Do the 30 Largest Food and Beverage Manufacturers have nutrition strategies?  🫘 Companies need to consider all aspects of their business that impact public health and develop a strategic plan to improve the public health impact of their commercial business model (i.e., a ‘nutrition strategy’). A key component of this should be increasing sales of healthier products.  We observe some progress compared to 2021 based on a number of indicators, but there is still significant work to be done, especially in terms of robust key performance indicators (KPIs) and strong internal governance and accountability mechanisms.  👉 Swipe to read the insights from our Nutrition Governance chapter in the Global Index!  ✅ Find the full Global Index 2024 here:  https://lnkd.in/eAkCQ4xw #publichealth #nutrition #accountability #healthyfood
