Why Powder based food to help solve malnutrition?

Food powder ingredients have always been around, from flour, sugar, and salt, and later with fortified nutrition using minerals and vitamins, powder based food offers a promising solution to address world hunger and malnutrition.
Powder based products are nutrient-dense, easily transportable, and long-lasting, they reduce food waste and are suitable for emergency relief efforts.

Customized formulations can target specific nutrient deficiencies, while their lightweight nature facilitates distribution to remote areas. The versatility of food ingredients in food recipes make them a key element in solving the world’s biggest food problems.

Powdered foods also contribute to dietary diversity and can be fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, making them a versatile tool in comprehensive strategies to combat malnutrition.

Food-as-a-Service: accelerating food innovation

The main challenge in developing food recipes with nutritious and affordable powder-based food ingredients in different countries lies in ensuring speed and agility from initial idea to market evaluation, test and ultimately successful product launch.

Balancing cost-effectiveness, achieving shelf stability, considering sustainability, managing allergen risks, and ensuring consumer acceptance require meticulous attention in the development process.
