    Navigating Food Industry Health Strategies in this Rapidly Evolving World – with Anna Wheeler and Prof Danielle McCarthy (S4 E3)
    Jun 18 2025

    Welcome to the Humans of Nutrition Podcast brought to you by Registered Nutritionists Anna Wheeler and Prof Danielle McCarthy.

    In this episode of the Humans of Nutrition podcast, Anna and Danielle discuss the evolving landscape of health and nutrition in food businesses.

    They explore the pressures faced by CEOs and Innovation Directors, the impact of policy initiatives like HFSS, and the role of retailers in leading health strategies.

    The conversation highlights the importance of building a strategic health advantage and the future trends that food businesses should prepare for, including the rise of digital food environments and the need for integrated approaches to public health.

    Anna and Danielle explain why now is the time that food companies should, and in many cases are, investing in health to future-proof their businesses. They emphasise the value of collaboration and the role Nutrition Talent and other nutrition professionals can play in driving meaningful change within organisations.

    A ‘must listen’ for all food industry influencers and decision makers!
