Maha Tahiri, PhD, will discuss three key questions: As GLP-1 pharmaceuticals become more mainstream, what do we now know about their side effects and how they’re reshaping consumer behavior, from appetite suppression to shifts in food preferences? In the food sector, where do knowledge gaps still exist regarding GLP-1s? What do recent studies implicate about health impacts, companion foods & ingredients and long-term effects of GLP-1 use? And what opportunities should food brands and innovators be taking advantage of in the GLP-1 era, from emerging product categories, reformulation strategies, and new ways to connect with consumers?
