ITC Sunfeast holds first-ever hen and cow conference
Mumbai: ITC Sunfeast hosted a unique conference today featuring a humorous discussion between hen and cow representatives. They discussed the challenges of making milk and eggs more appealing to children while emphasizing their roles in providing good nutrition.
The conference also included a larger panel discussion with representatives from various fields. The panel featured National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC) West Bengal chairman Madan Mohan Maiti, IDA East Zone vice-chairman Dr Dulal Chandra Sen, clinical nutritionist and lifestyle consultant Dr Ananya Bhowmik, celebrity mom Koneenica Banerjee, and Nourishing Schools co-founder and CEO Archana Sinha. They emphasized the importance of eggs and milk during children’s developmental years as key sources of protein and other nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and iron. The discussion also explored innovative ways to make milk and egg consumption more appealing to kids.
Recognising a gap in the market for an egg and milk biscuit, ITC Sunfeast introduced its latest product, Sunfeast super egg & milk biscuit, featuring the “Goodness of Protein.” ITC’s product development team designed the biscuit to offer both nutrition and a delicious, crunchy experience for children. The tagline, “Super Combo, Super Tasty,” reflects the brand’s focus on providing ‘Good for you’ products to its consumers.
Speaking on the product launch, ITC Foods COO of biscuits and cakes cluster Ali Harris Shere shared, “Our consumer research highlighted that mother’s consider egg and milk to be essential food for children, however, individually, these ingredients are not very convenient for children to consume, especially for out-of-home consumption. Mothers want to provide these nutrients but existing products in the market do not have a combination of both. This prompted us to work with our product development teams to bring these two essential food components in the form of a biscuit making it convenient for everyday consumption. We are the first to introduce a biscuit with egg and milk at various accessible price points in India.”
The Sunfeast Egg & Milk Biscuits will be available across South and East India at a price point of Rs 5, Rs 10, and Rs. 30. It will be rolled out in the rest of the country in a phased manner.
At ITC, it has been a constant endeavour to offer value-added food offering to the consumer given the changing lifestyle and consumer preferences. As part of its nutrition strategy ‘Help India Eat Better’ framework, ITC is leveraging its strengths in science-based, consumer-led product development, agri, etc to meet consumer needs and help them make informed choices.
