520: Sustainability, health, cost of living - could fat really be the answer?

Food Matters Live Podcast

“The big difference these days is the magnitude and the complexity of the challenges facing the food industry, and the fact they all seem to be happening at the same time.”
So says Dr Kaly Chatakondu, AAK’s Commercial Director for Food Ingredients in the UK and Ireland.
There is no doubt that the food industry is facing multiple challenges on multiple fronts but three key themes stand out: sustainability, health, and the cost of living.
All of us in the food industry are searching for potential answers that could help us overcome them, and satisfy consumer demand.
But here’s the big twist in the tale - it is suggested the answer to all three of those huge challenges could lie in fat.
It may not be the answer you were expecting, but in this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with AAK, we explore the idea and discuss fat’s potential role in all three areas.
