Snappea, a new pea drink, with health and sustainability in mind

Image credit: Snappeafood

Snappea, a new plant-based drink made from peas, has been launched in Malaysia. Snappea is a pea-focus brand which focuses on promoting peas as a healthier and more sustainable food source.

The name Snappea comes from snapping, as people tend to snap their fingers when thinking about ideas, hence Snappea (snap + pea), explained Justin Chan, Founder of Snappea.

The company sources the peas from Canada as the North American country is the largest producer of yellow peas in the world. Pea has a very clean taste, which is suitable to use in beverages like dairy-free milk alternatives.

High in protein and 100% vegan

Snappea has 10 times more protein than almond and 20% more than dairy milk. In addition, Snappea is 100% vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, non-GMO, soy-free and comes with 170g plant-based calcium per cup. So regardless whether you are vegan, lactose-intolerant or allergic to soy or gluten, Snappea can basically be consumed by anyone.

Sustainable food source

Peas are one of the most sustainable food sources in the world, explained Justin. In addition, peas are super nutritious and much less water intensive. To produce the same amount of protein, peas require seven times less water compared to nuts like almond.

Peas are super friendly to soil because they help in nitrogen fixing. Nitrogen is one of the most important chemical elements for plants. If there is not enough nitrogen available in the soil plants look pale and their growth is stunted. Peas are one of the few nitrogen fixing plants, which means they work together with nitrogen fixing bacteria called rhizobia, to “fix” nitrogen. Nitrogen from the air diffuses into the ground. The rhizobia chemically converts that nitrogen to make it available for the plant. In short, by planting peas, the soil can be enriched without the use of artificial fertilizers. 

Available online and at major retail chains

Currently Snappea is available online on Lazada and Shopee and offline in major retail chains in Malaysia such as Jaya Grocer. More retail outlets will be carrying Snappea products soon, said Justin.

Snappea welcomes any potential importers especially in the Asia region who are interested in Snappea. The company said it has received many enquiries from end-consumers about the availability of Snappea in their regions. Anyone interested to be Snappea’s stockists/distributors, feel free to drop them an email at hey@snappeafood.com.

All ingredients Snappea use are Halal certified and Snappea is produced in halal-certified facilities. Snappea is pending Halal approval for the end products, which the company in the midst of applying.

Snappea is available in Simply Unsweetened, Utterly Original and Richly Chocolate flavours.

Purchase Snappea from the official Snappea store on Lazada and Shopee.

CP Foods will double up cage-free production

Image credit: CPF

25 June 2020 — Charoen Pokphand Foods PCL (CP Foods) will double production of this year’s cage free eggs to 10 million eggs to promote ethical food choices in Thailand and exports.

CP Foods vows its strict compliance with high welfare and antibiotics standards in line with the Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare – freedoms from hunger and thirst; discomfort; pain; and injury; and freedom to express normal behavior. These practices will ensure that the animals will have good physical and mental health during their time at the farm, resulting a lower chance of using antibiotic treatment for sick livestock. 

Mr. Somkid Wannalukkhee, Senior Vice President at CP Foods, said the company has decided to double its cage-free production to 10 million eggs in this year since a successful pilot farm.

“CPF Foods’ laying farms are gradually transitioning towards a cage-free housing system due to our commitment as a responsible food producer. The practice will help our hens to live happily without sickness and also improving quality of our egg products.” he said.

He added consumers and restaurants are becoming more conscious on the ethical food trend in recent years. The company has supplied CP selection, a premium cage-free eggs, to many franchises, restaurants, supermarkets and hotel chains such as Mo-Mo-Paradise, Michelin-starred street food Jay Fai, and Japanese supermarket Don Don Donki.

CP Foods kicked off cage-free production at laying hen farm in Saraburi province. The pilot farm is operated in closed and controlled environment that guarantee high bio-security to prevent possible contamination.

The chicken house has a low stocking density of 7 laying hens per square meter compared with the US and EU standards of maximum 9 hens per square meter. The low density farming allows chickens to move and express their behavior freely. Environmental enrichments, such as perches, are also provided to reduce stress of the animals.

CP Foods is currently exporting premium egg products to Singapore and Hong Kong as well.

CPF imposes strict animal welfare standards on livestock and aquaculture value chains

Bangkok–24 Jun

Charoen Pokphand Foods PLC (CPF) vows its strict compliance with animal welfare and antibiotics standards, to promote the natural behaviours of both livestock and aquatic animals and assure meat and food safety throughout the supply chain.

Dr. Payungsak somyanontanakul DVM., President of Animal Welfare & Anti Microbial Committee of CPF, said the compay has continually improved its farming practices in line with the Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare – freedoms from hunger and thirst; discomfort; pain; and injury; and freedom to express normal behavior. For favourable environment, the Five Freedoms are applicable to animals at all domestic poultry farms, pig farms and aquatic farms and contracted farmers’ farms together with efficient farm management that allows natural growth for the sake of animals’ growth and good health.

CPF’s pig farms are operated under 3 Ts (No Testicles, No Teeth Clipping and No Tail Docking). Pigs are raised in closed and ventilated buildings. Physical adjustments are being avoided or stopped including castration (to reduce boars’ odor), teeth reduction or clipping (to reduce damage to both the sow’s teats during suckling and to other piglets), and tail docking (to prevent tail biting). In 2019, CPF’s pig business abolished the castration of over 700,000 piglets, the teeth clipping of more than 2 million piglets and tail docking of more than 3,000 piglets. Ear clipping of more than 3 million piglets were also cancelled. CPF’s pig business in Malaysia and Taiwan is 100% free of teeth reduction or clipping.

Broiler business is currently 100% free of beak trimming. With materials to peck at, hens’ natural pecking behavior is promoted. Concerning breeders and egg-laying hens, the infrared beak treatment technology is applied instead of beak trimming, to avoid causing injury.

In 2018, the cage free farming practice was adopted for egg-laying hens. The biosecurity hi-tech farming in closed buildings offers the Five Freedoms. Enjoying the freedoms, the hens maintain good physical and mental health and need no antibiotics.

Concerning the aquaculture business, female non-eyestalk ablation is applied. CPF has replaced ablation with a biotechnology in baby shrimp hatchery and nursing, allowing breeders to naturally lay eggs without eyestalk ablation.

Dr. Payungsak added that CPF has also practiced the Welfare Outcome Measures (WOMs), to assess animals’ physical and mental health. Animals with advanced welfare will demonstrate natural growth, emotions and behaviours. The measures are applicable to businesses in Thailand and overseas with emphasis on key factors like survival rate, growth rate, loss rate, carcass quality and quantity, and natural behaviours.

“The Five Freedoms and closed farming practices under international-standard management techniques ensure favourable environment and treatments. Animals enjoy good health and low stresses. Without sickness, they don’t need antibiotics and this ensures quality meat and sustainably quality and safe food production,” said Dr. Payungsak noted.

Aside, CPF has upheld responsible and appropriate use of antibiotics. A single approach is applicable to the company’s livestock business and contracted farmers’ in Thailand and overseas, demanding no use of human-only antibiotics in animals or shared-class antibiotics or growth-promoting hormones.

“CPF has consistently placed great emphasis on responsible and appropriate use of antibiotics. Our business in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Turkey have now stopped administering shared-class antibiotics to raise growth rate,” Dr. Payungsak said.

Industry players co-develop country’s first integrated POS solution from order-to-last-mile-delivery in F&B sector’s recovery efforts

  • Cuscapi, Presto and Hungry announce strategic partnership to offer a fully digitalized and integrated F&B “order-to-delivery” solution to boost F&B sales
  • F&B operators will be able attract and retain both dine-in and take-away customers with an integrated solution covering order taking to delivery and everything in between
  • Customers will enjoy an improved customer experience in a fully digital platform, staying contactless, as per the new normal
  • The tripartite partnership banks on the expertise of all partners who are key players in their own sectors

Kuala Lumpur, 24 June 2020: Cuscapi, Presto and Hungry are pleased to announce that they have entered a partnership to offer a fully integrated and digitalized order-to-delivery solution to help boost the local Food and Beverage (F&B) industry affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

As Malaysians still spend some 31% of their income on food, the F&B sector offers great potential and a digital revolution on F&B operations can help F&B operators to overcome the challenges and do quick business recovery in the new normal.

To get the best out of each partner’s expertise, the three reputable corporations in the country – Cuscapi, Presto and Hungry – have formed a strategic alliance to develop the 360° fully integrated and digitalized Cloud-powered F&B management suite, named Custory, to help F&B operators manage their order-to-delivery cycle, and everything in-between, both efficiently and effectively.

By adopting this new solution, F&B operators will be able to bring back customers to their
restaurants. As the food ordering and payment solution is fully digital, diners will regain confidence of having less human contact in the restaurant to enjoy the pleasures of dining-in. Customers will also be able to make table reservations, drive-through, take-out or have their food delivered via this new solution.

The three main components that make-up this new solution are food ordering, cashless payment and delivery service, each of which is the specialization of Cuscapi, Presto and Hungry, respectively.

The 360° F&B solution, or Custory as it’s called, is powered by Cuscapi, a pioneering provider of Point-of-Sales (POS) systems in Malaysia. Custory allows real-time access to restaurant data anytime, anywhere and enables restaurants to create a digital menu for both dine-in and online orders on a single platform. This translates as a cost-effective and comprehensive solution.

By using the solution, restaurants can also replace order-placing kiosks that contribute to long queues, which are fast becoming a greater inconvenience to customers as social distancing is practiced. Customers will be able to use QR Codes to order their food from the table. Similarly, their drive-through or take-out experience is simplified via the online-ordering solution.

One of large e-commerce marketplace in the country with a database of more than 10 million users, Presto brings to this partnership its extensive reach, for F&B operators to enjoy greater visibility. Its strong network with e-wallet partners, credit card and bank partners for cashless (and contactless) payment methods is also very appealing to customers.

F&B operators can also be assured that with Presto’s vast experience in digital marketing, they will gain better visibility and reach. The Presto app, which customers can use to place their food orders, not only offers all modes of cashless payment but also integration to loyalty cards, in which membership points can be used to off-set one’s F&B bill. This integration helps restaurant operators to gain more customers and enjoy better bottom lines.

The third partner, Hungry, which offers app-based food delivery service will see its delivery service platform integrated into this new solution giving F&B operators a wider reach to help boost their business. With more than 7,000 plus registered riders, serving 14,000 merchants and 15 major cities, Hungry will offer the “last mile” connectivity in this solution’s F&B cycle. F&B operators will also be able to integrate their own delivery services into this new solution, making the order-todelivery a truly seamless solution for all.

This easy-to-use and affordable solution is capable of supporting F&B businesses across all tiers in the industry encompassing Tier-1 restaurant chains, Tier-2 and Tier-3 independent and smaller restaurants and food courts.

Cuscapi’s Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Gerald, said they are proud to have developed this revolutionary 360° F&B solution ground up using the lastest cloud and mobile technologies. “This solution was built upon the vast experience we had gained from our 42 years of operations in the F&B industry. We have developed our solution to be hardware agonistic, meaning that it can run on any hardware, making it a truly affordable solution to Tier-2 and Tier-3 F&B operators, who can run it even on a smartphone. Our solution is ahead of its time and we believe it will bring about very positive impacts on food operators during this challenging time,” he said.

Meanwhile, Presto’s Chef Executive Officer, Cheong Chia Chou said with this strategic partnership, the company is moving towards the new normal together with the F&B operators and their customers. “Our solution will enable bubsiness success for our customers as we help them go digital. We are appreciative that our partners Cuscapi and Hungry are equally keen too, in helping their customers digitalize their businesses. Finding the right partners is pertinent in delivering a forward-looking solution to the end-users and with Cuscapi and Hungry in the partnership, we believe we are on the right track,” added Cheong.

As the delivery service partner, Hungry’s Chief Executive Officer, Gary Soo, said they are pleased to partner with Cuscapi and Presto on this groundbreaking solution. “Hungry works on an area hub model which helps shorten service response between customers, riders and merchants. This gives our food delivery platform an edge over our competitors as we are able to deliver more speedily. We believe by integrating our service into this new solution, the F&B sales will get the boost in needs at the moment. Once again, we are excited to be part of this digital revolution for F&B operators,´ said Gary Soo, Chief Executive Officer of Hungry.

The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) lauded the strategic collaboration between Cuscapi, Presto and Hungry for developing an innovative digital solution to aid local businesses, particularly F&B operators, to swiftly recoup from the economic dip caused by the pandemic.

“This partnership is timely and well aligned with the government’s short-term economic recovery plan, where the call for businesses to accelerate their digitalisation efforts was accentuated. As the nation navigates through the recovery phase of COVID-19, the need for novel tech solutions is a vital requisite. We urge more tech companies to emulate the success of this collaboration to place Malaysia back on a bullish growth trajectory,” said Gopi Ganesalingam, Vice President of MDEC’s Global Growth Acceleration Division.

In addition to providing a solution for F&B operators during this challenging time brought on by a pandemic, the offering is also expected to create job opportunities for food delivery riders. As for restaurant owners, adopting this solution can mean their workers’ livelihood is assured as business sees growth while for the economy as a whole, a robust F&B e-commerce marketplace will see opportunities created throughout the F&B supply chain.

And lastly, not forgetting customers, who can continue to enjoy their dining pleasure in a safe and digitally-driven environment.

This 360° F&B will be rolled out in phases, starting July 2020. Custory targets to have more than 1,000 F&B operators on board by end 2020.
