The Scottish Government's Reformulation for Health programme is delighted to launch the 4th round of the Reformul8 Challenge Fund (RCF) to support food and drink businesses with the associated financial costs of making their products healthier. (trialling recipe/process changes, nutritional testing, testing the functionality of ingredient alternatives, improving production capacity)
The RCF4 aims to support and assist SME food and drink businesses across Scotland to improve the quality and quantity of healthier products to meet the growing consumer demand for healthier options. Reformulation is unique to each food business, it can include the reduction of fat, salt and sugar, enrichment with added fibre, fruit & vegetables, reduced portion size and calorie value, replacing ingredients with healthier alternatives or providing clearer consumer health information.
