All senses are interconnected –FMSI provides healthy and safe food ingredients through research and engagement with Food manufactures, chefs and nutritional experts, to provide new and innovative tastes and sensory outcomes.
FMSI understands that most food categories have ingredients that often don’t offer healthy attributes and may contain excessive volumes . Salt ( NaCl) is a good example, as it is an omnipresent condiment in most food groups.
Whilst a certain amount of salt is necessary ,too much is dangerous and alternatives or substitutes are required.
OUR STRATEGY IS TO FOCUS ON

Taste
Sustainability
In the food industry, just as any other industry, product and process development is considered a vital part – indeed the lifeblood – of a smart business strategy. Failure to develop new and improved products relegates firms to competing solely on price which favours the players with access to the lowest cost inputs, but not always the healthiest or sustainable options.
Consumers’ demands keep changing over time. These changes range from basic considerations such as improving food safety, shelf life, and reducing wastage, to demands for increasingly sophisticated foods having special characteristics in terms of nutritional value, palatability, and convenience. The actual product development process is determined by the interaction between consumer expectations and demand, the technical capacity of the food producer, and emerging knowledge from food science research.
COLLABORATION & PARTNERSHIPS
FMSI believes that research and academic communities contribute to programmes that can build the capacity of the food industry to achieve higher success rates in food product
Innovation. For this reason FMSI works closely with both research and academic institutions to develop new and exciting food ingredients and innovations to make food healthier and exciting.
Many major food Corporations have begun new strategies around innovation which is to achieve a new paradigm around new techniques, ingredients and the application of knowledge gained from consumer insights. The FMSI strategy is to engage with these food manufactures and in unison develop new and exciting innovations in future ingredients.
