"I'm most excited about speaking at Food Matters Live because, as a Registered Nutritionist, I see firsthand the challenge of managing nutrition misinformation. I look forward to sharing strategies for clear, evidence-based communication and cutting through the noise in the panel – ‘Social media: managing misinformation around nutrition while creating product appeal and hype’."

We couldn’t agree more with Jessica Stansfield RNutr, Nutrition Manager at Huel — and we’re thrilled to have her join us at Food Matters Live Manchester!

Catch Jessica on Wednesday 14 May, 15:45 – 16:45 as she takes part in a powerful panel discussion exploring how brands can balance science and storytelling — tackling misinformation while still creating buzzworthy, commercially successful products.

The latest speaker to join Jessica on the panel is Ashley English, Head of Product Development, HTC Health.

This is just one of many exciting conversations happening at Food Matters Live Manchester, with expert-led sessions covering:
👉 Gut health & fibre innovation – turning science into sell-through
👉 HFSS regulations – what October 2025 means for your brand
👉 Plant-based proteins – the next generation of sustainable innovation UPFs & online influence – unpacking public perception vs nutritional science
👉 Industry x academia – creating real-world impact through collaboration

If you're working in NPD, technical, marketing or comms — or if you’re just tired of seeing nutrition misrepresented online — don’t miss this one.

Food innovation is moving fast—maybe faster than ever. But with so many challenges (HFSS, UPF concerns, sustainability, cleaner labels, taste and texture expectations…the list goes on), how do you cut through the noise and find ingredient solutions that actually work?

This is something we’ve been hearing a lot from our VIP community
🔹 “We don’t just need new ingredients—we need solutions that fit real-world applications”
🔹 “Regulations are shifting, but consumer expectations are too. How do we balance both?”
🔹 “Sustainability is a priority, but reformulating without impacting taste and texture is tough.”

These are exactly the kinds of conversations happening at Tastes of Better—where ingredient experts from Azelis,iff, Biospringer and NPD teams across the industry get hands-on with new innovations, taste real applications, and talk openly about the challenges (and solutions) shaping the industry.

If you’ve joined us at Tastes of Better before, what did you take away? If not, what’s the biggest ingredient challenge on your plate right now? Let’s share insights 👇
