As a travel dietitian Melissa Adamski shares her WTCE 2024 top exhibitor picks for including nutritious foods onboard WTCE 2024 in a World Travel Catering and Onboard Services Expo industry article.
A Nudge Towards Including Nutritious Foods Onboard
Melissa Adamski APD BSc MND
Travel Nutrition Ambassador WTCE
Not long now until WTCE and it is getting to the exciting part for me – looking at the foods and drinks on offer from the exhibitors. As a dietitian and nutritionist, I LOVE food, and I love nothing more than exploring new foods, especially for travel. So, when I hit the expo floor at WTCE 2024 in Hamburg, here are a few products and exhibitors I am looking forward to viewing in more detail. These products have caught my eye in regards to their nutrition innovation potential for the travel industry.
(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 as my fellow WTCE ambassador, Julianne Ponan, has written a fantastic article outlining the products and exhibitors that have stood out for her in her role as WTCE Ambassador for special diets.)
Let’s take a look at the exhibitors that as a travel dietitian I am excited to view.
Mix Buffet at stand 4C59 has a range of salads that not only look delicious but also balanced meals. Using a variety of ingredients to create colourful salads, I am looking forward to learning more about their salad concepts.
Salads can be delicious, nutritious and satisfying meals for travel when crafted carefully. What caught my eye was the opportunity to choose from a range of nutritious ingredients which included higher fibre grains/carbohydrates, a range of protein sources and vegetables in a selection of tasty flavours. I think this is what I am most excited about – vegetables with flavour!
