Zero-Nutritional Value Food
Identify, Eliminate, Replace… and Win
KAUST Health and Community Life Food Safety & Quality team, in collaboration with the Dubai municipality, invite KAUST community members to participate in the upcoming Zero-Nutritional Value Food challenge. Food with zero or very little nutritional value does not support good health and well-being. It is usually high in calories and can contain artificial ingredients, lacking vitamins, fiber, and good quality fats and carbohydrates.
Use your knowledge and determination to adopt new healthier eating habits and win one of five Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer!
