World of health and beauty in a bite

With consumers often warned to eat healthy to prevent obesity and lifestyle diseases, their purchasing decisions are now made with more thought. More and more consumers choose products more reflectively while at grocery stores and restaurants. This isn’t something new, but it is a global trend that continues to build the healthy products market which now only knows one direction – straight up. And we see that in response, more and more food and beverage companies are reformulating with less sugar, salt and fat, and adding nutrients where they can, as well as using health-friendlier enhancers and natural ingredients.

Consultancy firm KPMG says the health trend will blur the line between food and beverage manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies, many of which are now after a spot in the huge nutraceuticals market, noted Reuters. In fact, mergers and acquisitions between them are inevitable. In 2018, the nutraceuticals market is expected to reach $280 billion.

Another industry that continues to grow along with health is beauty.  Yes, beauty is a $250-billion market according to Lucintel.

TMTM Vietnam's popular products with Moringa oleifera

So FoodPacific Manufacturing Journal covers both beauty and health. We introduce
TMTM Viet Nam, a producer of a wide range of food products, among them tea, cookies and noodles with Moringa oleifera  (Moringa oleifera Lam.), sold under the MORI brand.

When you look up Moringa oleifera, you'll find it to be one of nature's health wonders. In fact, it is called the "miracle tree" because most of its parts – roots, bark, fruit, pods, and leaves, are packed with nutrients for the prevention and treatment of disease.
