Recipe Development Power Achieving "Health Appeal x Deliciousness" - Product Development Support by a Team of Registered Dietitians -

Smile meal Co., Ltd. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Mayumi Atsumi) operates a business specializing in recipe and product development that balances health and deliciousness, led by a team of registered dietitians.

■ Challenges and Needs in Product Development

In recent years, the demand for "health-conscious products" has been expanding, driven by the increase in lifestyle-related diseases and cardiovascular diseases, and a growing health awareness.

On the other hand,

・When focusing on health, the taste can be unsatisfying
・Restricted diets are difficult to maintain

These are common challenges, and there is a demand for products that balance both health and deliciousness.

■ Development Capabilities that Balance "Health x Deliciousness"

At Smile meal,

“You can continue because it's delicious”

is the premise for our recipe and product development.

Rather than simply reducing salt or fat,

・Ingredient combinations
・Innovative cooking methods
・Umami and aroma design

we achieve highly satisfying flavors even with dietary restrictions.

Our flavor creation skills are highly regarded by companies, and we have worked on numerous products, from supporting new product development for venture companies to creating prototypes for major food companies, resulting in many hit products.

■ Book Production for Highly Restricted Diets

Leveraging these recipe development capabilities, we are also involved in producing books for highly restricted diets with specific nutritional limits. Two books for which our company was responsible for recipe creation have been published by Joshi Eiyo Daigaku Shuppanbu (Kagawa Nutrition University Publishing Department).
