Visitors were introduced to Kerry’s clinically backed ingredients such as BC30™, Wellmune®, and Sensoril®, Plenibiotic, Caronositol Fertility®, and LC40® Infant designed for specific health and life stage needs.

• Hybrid Beverages: A beverage zone featured fruity and citrus-led refreshing drinks enhanced by natural flavours and Kerry’s Tastesense™ Sweet, Masking, and Mouthfeel technologies. There was also flavoured iced green and black tea and chocolate dairy and cocoa reduced chocolate dairy drinks.
• Frozen Treats Innovation: Kerry’s Sherex™ technology and Sweet Taste solutions redefined ice cream and sorbet, delivering delicious, indulgent flavour experiences.
• Expert Insights: Thought leaders and subject matter experts Marcus Verkerk, Dr. Celia Ning, Anakkapan Danjarern, Jie Ying Lee, and Dr. Pornpun Theinsathid drew audiences to their seminars exploring breakthrough developments in smoke and grill technologies, health and wellness, sodium reduction, and food protection and preservation, along with strategies shaping the future of food.

These innovations reflect broader industry trends in Asia-Pacific, where consumers increasingly demand products that balance authentic taste, health benefits, and sustainable practices. Indulgence and wellness are no longer separate categories, but expectations that must be delivered together. Meeting this demand requires collaboration, and Kerry extended an invitation to manufacturers and brand owners to co-create solutions that resonate locally while aligning with global nutrition and sustainability priorities.

Commented Siddharth Rastogi, General Manager, Retail & Meat, Kerry Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia: “Fi Asia 2025 has been an incredible platform to connect with partners and demonstrate how Kerry is redefining what’s possible in food innovation. The energy and engagement at our stand reflected the industry’s appetite for future-ready reformulation that can unlock real impact: better taste, better nutrition, and better sustainability, helping the industry meet consumer needs today and tomorrow. We look forward to continuing to co-create with our partners and inspire the next wave of food and beverage development across Asia.”
