uch has happened over the past few years, not least the global pandemic and the ongoing war in Ukraine, so it is no surprise that the average consumer has been impacted in part due to a rise in the cost of living. While this is affecting many food choices more than ever before, food safety and nutrition remain a critical factor for human health and development. It is, therefore, essential that every country does its best to support and promote the importance of a healthy and balanced diet in the face of food supply disruption and rising costs. The world of sweeteners is constantly heralded as an answer to sugar demands, as the sweet alternative offers a zero to low-calorie option that could help rises in diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. In this issue, we consider the potential health benefits of sweeteners as we speak to Abigail Storms, global head of sweeteners at Tate & Lyle, on page 70. We also talk to experts to learn what the term ‘natural’ actually means when it comes to food and drink packaging on page 73, and whether the lack of legal definition is having a damaging impact. It is also a well-known fact that many are seeking dairy and gluten-free options for the general health benefits associated with such restrictions. On page 40, we speak to Dr Schär’s Bradley Grimshaw and Kraft Heinz’s Miriam Ueberall to understand the manufacturing challenges facing dairy and gluten ingredients in the free-from space. While everyone from brands, producers, manufacturers and consumers are grappling with the instabilities within food and beverage sectors and rising costs, the importance of balanced nutrition has not been lost on us.
