The metabolic health revolution

GLP 1s may dominate the headlines, but the real story is far bigger than weight loss injections. A full scale metabolic health revolution is underway, driven by consumers hungry for food and drink solutions that help them better process fats and sugars – and, critically, keep blood glucose in balance.

In this session, we’ll unpack the latest science, spotlight breakthrough innovations, and explore how brands can empower consumers to manage not only their weight, but their entire metabolic ecosystem.

Future-forward ingredients

A new era of satiety science is taking shape. As consumer demand for weight management solutions accelerates, an expanded toolbox of next gen ingredients is stepping into the spotlight. From technologies designed with GLP 1 users in mind to natural, food first approaches for the wider wellness market, these breakthroughs are setting the stage for a wave of innovative product development.

In this session, we’ll uncover emerging formulation heroes, with a keen eye on what works, what doesn’t, and why it matters for the future of food and drink.

Weight management without compromise

A new paradigm of weight conscious eating is emerging – one where consumers refuse to sacrifice taste, texture, or pleasure in the pursuit of better health. As expectations rise, the industry faces a clear challenge: how to craft nutrient forward products that deliver permissible indulgence without feeling restrictive. And it’s not just about what goes into the recipe. Format matters, too.

From snackable concepts to portion controlled ready meals, this session takes a 360° look at the future of food and drink for weight focused consumers. We’ll explore the innovations rewriting the rules of enjoyment and ask: in a GLP 1 world, can taste still come first?
