New nutrition, diet and health group formed

Nutrition, diet and health have taken centre stage as one of the most important issues in food production and consumption. Some examples of the key issues are:

• Responsibility deal pledges including reducing saturated fat, salt and sugar levels in manufactured foodstuffs
• Development of functional foods, which provide the consumer with specific health benefits
• Creating products for people with specific dietary needs (e.g. the avoidance of particular allergens)

At this year´s Campden BRI Day, we asked the many visitors who stopped by at the product development exhibits what they thought the food and drinks trends for 2015 would be. Among the many varied ideas, there were a great many suggestions related to the broad topic of products that contribute to a healthy diet. As a result of this feedback, we have pulled together all of our activities to form a new nutrition, diet and health group. As you will see at here our activities cover product development, nutritional analysis, legislation advice, consumer and sensory studies, microbiological implications, and raw material development and suitability.
