Kosmode Health Wins SIAL Innovation Bronze Award 2025

In 2025, Kosmode Health was awarded the SIAL Innovation Bronze Award, an accolade presented by the SIAL Network to spotlight cutting-edge products and solutions transforming the global food and beverage industry. The award celebrates breakthroughs in ingredients, packaging, and consumer concepts innovations that shape the future of what and how the world eats.

Reimagining Food From Waste

Kosmode Health was recognised for its pioneering approach to upcycling food processing side-streams into functional foods that benefit both people and the planet. Central to this recognition is the W0W® Noodle, the world’s first and only staple clinically proven to generate zero glycemic response. Crafted from barley protein and fibre extracted from Spent Barley Grains (SBG), a by-product of beer and malt production, the W0W® Noodle exemplifies how science and sustainability can combine to create foods that don’t just nourish but also heal.

Innovation With Impact

This award acknowledges more than a single product. It recognises Kosmode Health’s broader blueprint: a scalable model for repurposed ingredients that transforms food waste into new economic, nutritional, and environmental value. With over 200 million tonnes of food processing waste generated globally each year, Kosmode’s innovation demonstrates how one of the world’s largest challenges can become a powerful solution to hunger, chronic disease, and climate change.

Driven by Belief, Guided by Vision

Kosmode Health’s journey is anchored by a belief that feeding the world does not require producing more, it requires making better use of what we already have. By extracting nutrients from “waste” and formulating them into functional foods, the company proves that a future of zero hunger and zero poverty is within reach.

Its mission is simple yet transformative: to expand access to health from nature, without compromising the earth. And its vision is bold: to be Asia’s thought leader in creating repurposed ingredient markets and setting the global standard for food as medicine. This vision has already taken form in the W0W® Barley Fresh Noodle, a world-first clinically validated innovation that has redefined what a staple food can be.

A Recognition of What’s to Come

The SIAL Innovation Bronze Award 2025 is more than an accolade, it is an affirmation of Kosmode Health’s role as a changemaker in the global food landscape. By transforming food processing by-product waste into functional, future-ready nutrition, Kosmode Health is showing the industry and the world that the food of tomorrow can be sustainable, equitable, and medicinal.
