Local Brands That Are Making A Difference
Here’s a sneak peek into some of the participating brands:
Alchemy FoodTech
Founded in 2015, Alchemy FoodTech creates nutritional fibre blends that have a low GI, high fibre, and high prebiotics without altering the taste, colour, and texture. They do this with the power of their trademarked Alchemy Fibre, customised for specific carbohydrate-based foods like rice, noodles, bread, cakes, and more. They’ve partnered with Springleaf Prata, so you can enjoy prata made with Alchemy Fibre that’s now (kinda) good for you!
Ento Industries
Fur-parents, treat your fur-kids with Ento Industries’s ECOGRUB x Pawfoo Pet Treats! A collaboration with Pawfoo, another local pet food brand focused on reducing waste in food production, these treats are mess-free, highly nutritious, and protein-packed (with a surprising protein source!). Ento Industries helps tackle the problem of food waste in Singapore by harnessing the process of bioconversion, creating products that can be reused in the agricultural industries.
Boxgreen
Boxgreen was founded in 2014 with the goal of providing healthy snacks to Singaporeans while making a positive social impact. They employ prison in-mates and ex-offenders to enhance their skills and employability and reduce the hiring barriers for the marginalised. Get their limited edition Merlion Chocolate Variety Box that comes with sea salt, fruit, and nut, and coffee almond-flavoured chocolate bites!
WhatIF Foods
You might recognize WhatIF Foods for their BamNut Instant Noodles in their unique hexagonal packaging. Other than the noodles, the brand offers products that are plant-based, and nutritious, and uses crops that are grown with regenerative practices to empower communities that grow them. Try the Gimme Malt Coffee, a collaboration with another homegrown social enterprise Foreword Coffee Roasters, made with WhatIF’s BamNut milk.
