We had a thought-provoking discussion about functional foods and ways to influence consumers to make healthier food choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had diverse contributions from our panellists:  Anna Lim<\/a>  (The Soup Spoon Pte Ltd<\/a>),  Rupert Dyer<\/a>  (WhatIF Foods<\/a>), and  Dr. Dalal AlGhawas<\/a>  (SWAPAC<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key takeaways:
\u2013 It\u2019s not the consumer\u2019s responsibility to understand labels. It is the food company\u2019s responsibility to make health benefits clear and credible to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Startups have to be nimble and prioritise their goals. When they\u2019re seeking funding, they need to hit the market as soon as possible and strengthen their own position. That leaves little room for added certifications \/ functional food claims. Obtaining a functional food certification depends on a range of factors, including product positioning and target consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Regulations can be used as business drivers, rather than barriers. For example, the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has a rigorous testing process for functional food claims AND a quick turnaround time for certifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to our panellists for their valuable insights, and to our attendees for joining the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
