With a renewed focus on health and healthy living, consumers seek food products offering additional health benefits without altering their taste preferences.

Sudhakar Desai, chief executive officer, Emami Agrotech, said, “Emami Agrotech has been present in the food business for over a decade since Emami Healthy & Tasty Mustard oil was launched in 2010. Over the years, the brand Healthy & Tasty has gained consumer trust through quality benchmarking. To build upon this trust, we decided to go beyond our current staple portfolio of edible oils & spices and enter the larger processed food category. With consumer insight-driven R&D efforts, the company has developed “First Time in Industry” Nutri Soya Chunks - which are rich in immunity-building nutrients like Iron & Zinc along with high protein content. It retains product’s original taste & texture.”
