Make it personal
ONE of the many things embraced by the food and beverage sector is innovation, and the growth of personalised nutrition is a prime example. Our annual trends forecast in January ranked it the third biggest trend to watch.
Our Rising Star feature this issue (page 8) is a fine example of this market. Meal delivery company Be Fit Food is collaborating with genetic testing company myDNA, and with backing from CSIRO, offering four
meal plan variations depending on a customer’s genetic markers. And still on innovation, Will Brook – son of Pam and Martin Brook, who forged the premium muesli category in Australia with
Brookfarm – is now not only leading the family business, but launching another. His functional food brand We, the many, is as much about sustainability as it is human health, with Brook creating a business model that will see 50 per cent of profits sent to verified projects reducing carbon. Read all about it on page 12.
And don’t think the more established companies are resting on their laurels. Montague’s new facility in Narre Warren North is nothing short of a technological marvel in what it achieves with energy savings, technological advancement, and efficiencies. That is from page 24.
You have probably noticed how this issue is even chunkier than usual. Welcome to our annual industry directory, where you
will find all the ingredient suppliers and equipment manufacturers of your dreams.
I need to take a moment here to acknowledge our deputy editor Doris Prodanovic, who single- handedly took on this behemoth and wrestled it into the most up-to-date, comprehensive compendium possible.
It was a massive undertaking, and she has more than delivered. Thank you Doris.
Onward.
