The Reformulation for Health programme is delighted to launch the 5th round of the Reformul8 Challenge Fund (RCF) to support food and drink businesses with the associated financial costs of making their products healthier. With funding provided by Food Standards Scotland and Scotland Food and Drink we can assist businesses with the costs of trialing recipe/process changes, nutritional testing, testing the functionality of ingredient alternatives and improving production capacity.
The RCF5 aims to support and assist SME food and drink businesses across Scotland to improve the quality and quantity of healthier products to meet the growing consumer demand and legislative drive for healthier options. Reformulation is unique to each food business, it can include the reduction of fat, salt and sugar, enrichment with added fibre, fruit & vegetables, reduced portion size and calorie value, replacing ingredients with healthier alternatives or providing clearer consumer health information.
The Reformul8 Challenge Fund ranges from £250 to £5000. Applicants must provide at least 50% of the total project costs. Businesses may contribute more than 50% of the total but the maximum fund remains fixed at £5,000. The application will remain open until Friday the 5th of September 2025. Applicants will be notified if they have been successful within 14 days of the fund closing.
