Background

Reformulation

Reformulation is where companies innovate to change the composition of a food or drink product to reduce portion-size, calories, fat, sugars and salt content or increase nutrients such as fibre or micronutrients. It can be hugely impactful.

Examples of reformulation include low fat cheese spreads, semi-skimmed milk, fibre-rich cereal and low- and no-sugar drinks where reformulation and processing innovations help to maintain taste of the product to be acceptable to the consumer.
