"FunctionalFood" news and stories

A probiotic straw to go with that acai-pomegranate juice

I know the world of functional foods is really taking off, but pretty soon you could have an even more functional straw to gulp it down with.

Unistraw is slated to make drinking straws that'll add a probiotic boost to anything you drink with it. Using their patented sytem, the straws are designed to deliver "dry stable Unibeads" of probiotics via filters at each end.

They're partnering with the food packaging/processing giant Tetrapak to get the straws out there. Starting from the middle of next year, Tetrapak will include the straws on their carton packaging and both companies will be able to market the new device.
