Senior-friendly future: South Korea lays out governance for elderly-friendly foods based on ingredient ratios
South Korea has finally laid out the governance rules for ‘elderly-friendly foods’ based on main ingredient ratios, with experts believing that this will have a significant impacts on a number of categories.
South Korea first created the elderly-friendly foods category in 2018, amending the local Food Code to establish this as a separate section.
Here, elderly-friendly food refers to foods manufactured and processed to have physical properties suitable to aid the elderly to eat or digest it, or to have nutritional profiles suitable for the elderly.
“[The elderly-friendly foods category has been established to] improve the convenience of intake as well as nutritional provision for the elderly, as this group may [face challenges] due to weakened chewing or swallowing or impaired nutritional intake due to this,”​ the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) said in a statement.

Rebrand and reintroduce: UK’s Eat Real outlines second attempt to enter China with clean and healthy snacks
By Guan Yu Lim
The makers of UK-based healthy snack brand Eat Real is planning to launch into China later this year, its second attempt at cracking the highly lucrative market.
Eat Real first entered China around two years ago, and retracted in 2020 after finding it difficult to break the market.
It was working with three different distributors, and sold its healthy snacks on online channels such as Tmall.
However, under the different distributors, the products had different Chinese names, which drove a price war, and was confusing for consumers.

Japan's 2030 food export vision: Focus on processed value-added foods and supply chain development crucial


Japan will need to place more focus on processed value-added foods and supply chain development beyond agricultural products if it wishes to hit its food exports target of JPY5tn (US$45.9bn) by 2030.
Japan announced ambitions to expand its food and agricultural product exports to JPY5tn by 2030 late last year, with mainly agricultural products such as wagyu beef and rice​ in the spotlight as key export items – but government ministers have now voiced doubts that depending on agricultural products as a key strategy is sufficient to hit this goal.
In a recent Shugiin (Japan’s House of Representatives, the lower house of the National Diet or legislature of Japan), Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Norikazu Suzuki highlighted that of total Japanese exports in 2019 valued at JPY921.1bn (US$8.5bn), some JPY327.1bn (US$3bn) of this was from processed foods.

Food allergies in children: More credible labelling policies as well as avoiding cross contamination crucial – HealthNuts study lead
By Pearly Neo
More effective policies to prevent allergen cross contamination are needed in Australia’s food industry, while voluntary labelling needs to more accurately reflect the risk profile, said a lead investigator of HealthNuts, the world’s largest comprehensive study on childhood food allergy.
The HealthNuts study has been ongoing for some 15 years, comprising data from children across Australia, Singapore, South Africa, 10 countries in Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.
According to HealthNuts project lead and Co-Group Leader of the Population Allergy group Dr Jennifer Koplin, there needs to be an effective strategy to protect children both pre and post allergy.

Pineapple mania: Taiwanese food firms go into product innovation hyperdrive in response to China ban


Pineapple mania: Taiwanese food firms go into product innovation hyperdrive in response to China ban
Taiwanese food firms have stepped up their food innovation efforts to utilise the local pineapple supply after China instituted a ban on Taiwanese imports, developing beers, sandwiches, appetisers and more from the fruit.
Small packaged pineapple cakes (Fengli su) have always been one of Taiwan’s most popular souvenir snacks, and many local shops are dedicated to the manufacturing and sales of these – but since China announced its ban on Taiwanese pineapple imports starting March 2021, many of these stores have stepped out of their comfort zones to launch new pineapple-based innovations.
