Gut health, nutrition, and public health are dominating conversations in the food industry, but what are consumers most concerned about in 2025 and beyond?

In this episode of the podcast, recorded live at the Food Matters Live event held in Manchester in November 2024, our panel of experts define the issues and concerns that will be driving the nutrition sector in the years to come.

We explore the latest insights shaping consumer trends and public health strategies, with a particular focus on gut health, women’s health, and the drive for a cleaner, more transparent food system.
