Exploring Nutritious Foods Onboard
Melissa Adamski APD BSc MND
Travel Nutrition Ambassador WTCE
With her second article as WTCE Ambassador for Travel Nutrition exploring why it is important for industry to consider nutrition within onboard offerings, she now shares some of her top exhibitor picks to explore at WTCE 2025.
WTCE 2025 is fast approaching and as the ambassador for travel nutrition one of my favourite parts of the expo is talking to exhibitors and exploring their products. As a dietitian and nutritionist there is nothing better than tasting and trying new foods, especially those tailored for travel. When I step onto the expo floor at WTCE 2025 in Hamburg, here are some products and exhibitors I am particularly excited to explore in regard to nutrition innovation for travel.
(Similar to the note in my 2024 exhibitor picks article, I wanted to highlight that while special meals for dietary requirements do fall under my scope of practice as a travel dietitian I have not featured exhibitors specifically in regards to special diets/meals. This is because Julianne Ponan is the WTCE ambassador for special diets and she has highlighted the exhibitors she is looking forward to visiting.
I am delighted to see Deli Lites (stand 1D91) returning as an exhibitor this year and I am looking forward to exploring their ranges of salads. What caught my eye was their emphasis on vegetables and protein within their salads, not just relying on foods such as rice, noodles or pasta to bulk out the meal. Salads made from a balance of grains, vegetables and protein are important for travel wellbeing and yet many salads served onboard across the globe are not well balanced. So this year I will be stopping by the Deli Lites team to check out what’s new and get the low down on the nutrition of their products.
Yummy Karma (stand 1C109) piqued my interest for the descriptions of their range of fresh meals to go, pots to go, and veggie bites. Their range of meals are described as having no additives or preservatives. I am looking forward to learning more about the nutrition and ingredients of their meal concepts.
