Our take
Eating well can be a challenge, especially for people with care commitments or lower incomes. Unfortunately, not eating well can worsen various health problems, leading to increased medical costs in the long run.
To help with this, Foodsmart supplies meal kits tailored to each customer's nutritional needs and dietary preferences. With registered dieticians consulting and guiding subscriber meal plans, the company has smartly carved a science-first niche in the multi-billion dollar meal plan delivery service market.
With over 1 million users enrolled, Foodsmart has proven popular. It also boasts demonstrated results such as positive weight loss for obese subscribers, and lowered systolic blood pressure for those with hypertension. It continues to be popular with investors too, with its fundraises supporting the expansion of operations and its business reach.
