CONSUMERS’ HEALTH AND SAFETY DURING COVID-19 F&N has taken proactive measures to address the impact of the pandemic on the health and safety of our consumers. During the lockdown, we worked closely with key retailers to ensure that core products such as canned and UHT milk and water, were sufficiently stocked and available for purchase by our consumers. At F&N, we aim to offer products, which, together with an active lifestyle, can play an important role in keeping people healthy. Our product development team continued to introduce healthier product options, in responding to consumer demands for healthy products, amidst the challenging time of COVID-19. This includes Sunkist Pure Juices with higher fruit content, containing vitamins A, C and E. We have also reintroduced our offerings of zero sugar beverages, which are 100PLUS Zero, no sugar OYOSHI Gold green tea and no sugar F&N ICE MOUNTAIN Sparkling Water. In Thailand, we introduced a healthier option of condensed milk – Carnation Plus SCM 0% Fat, 25% Reduced Sugar. We have taken steps to keep our consumers healthy and aware of the importance of staying active and hydrated during this time. InMalaysia, we implemented a wider range of activities to encourage a healthy lifestyle during lockdown. F&NHB also conducted virtual fitness challenges with athletes and influencers to engage consumers. In Thailand, FNDT helped consumers stay fit and healthy during COVID-19 by sharing healthy cooking tips and recipes using social media platforms, including information on keeping a healthy diet during lockdown. Halal Assurance All our products are halal certified by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia and other relevant authorised certification bodies.
