Notice Title

FS404003 Reformulating Cheesecake

Notice Description

The FSA are asking Knowledge Providers to create technical guidance for manufacturing reformulated cheesecake (based on the findings from the Nutritional content of cheesecake survey9). The successful applicant will also be required to host a workshop with at least 20 food business representatives involved in the manufacture or preparation of cheesecake from scratch e.g., restaurants, cafes or cheesecake manufacturers to showcase the technical guidance with taste testing. Ideally, the technical workshop will be hosted using a 'physical' format, however, the format the workshop will take ('physical' or 'virtual') will be dependent on COVID-19 restrictions. The FSA will collaborate with the successful applicant to agree the most appropriate forum to deliver the workshop.
