The GLP-1 challenge and opportunity
Food manufacturers are confronting a significant challenge that has the potential to transform the entire sector.

In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with IFF, we ask: how do you develop products for people whose fundamental relationship with eating has been altered?
This extends beyond just current users of the medication, it encompasses those contemplating treatment, people who have discontinued it, and even people for whom the wider discussion has shifted their perspective on taste, texture and nutrition.
GLP-1 treatments present manufacturers with both substantial product development challenges and remarkable possibilities.
