The Nutritionist-Dietitians’ Association of the Philippines (NDAP) marks a historic milestone as it celebrates its 70th Annual Convention from February 18-20, 2025, at Manila Hotel. The event brought together the country’s leading experts in nutrition to discuss the latest advancements in health and wellness in nutrition.

As a Platinum Sponsor of this landmark event, Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC) proudly reinforced its commitment to nutrition, sustainable diets, and public health. With decades of expertise in food science and taste innovation, APC joins this year’s convention to emphasize the importance of nutrition without compromising taste. The highlight was umami and the role it plays toward better dietary practices.

A key highlight of APC’s participation is the symposium "Transforming Taste and Nutrition: Practical Innovations for Dietetic Practice," featuring Dr. Giselle Grace Lim-Co Yu Kang, an esteemed expert in biochemistry and a proud former scholar of the Ajinomoto Foundation through APC. The session focused on how umami flavors can enhance vegetable consumption, addressing a crucial challenge in improving dietary habits by moving them towards a well-balanced, more sustainable lifestyle.

Beyond the symposium, APC also welcomed Ms. Andrea Wakita from Ajinomoto Co., Inc. or AJICO Global Communications Department, along with 15 members of the Asian Young Dietitians Network (AYDN), fostering international collaboration among nutrition professionals. The delegation collaborated with local experts to exchange knowledge and share best practices in sustainable nutrition.

As NDAP celebrates 70 years of leadership in nutrition and dietetics, Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation took the opportunity to reinforce its role as a trusted partner in health and wellness. By engaging with dietitians, healthcare professionals, and wellness advocates, APC continues its mission to provide science-backed, sustainable, and flavorful nutrition solutions for Filipinos.

This initiative embodies Ajinomoto Group’s “Eat Well, Live Well” philosophy, bringing together the power of nutrition and innovation to shape a healthier future for the Philippines.
