🥤 Interesting trend in the drinks world - more people are looking for beverages that support gut health. DöhlerGroup has created prebiotic soda solutions that actually taste good while helping with daily fibre intake.

Their blend uses natural ingredients like Jerusalem Artichoke, gum arabic, and tapioca starch. The timing makes sense, since most of us get only about half the fibre we should each day, and many people are already taking prebiotic supplements.

Döhler's approach shows you can make functional drinks that don't compromise on taste.

🚨 South Africa faces a serious illicit alcohol crisis that's affecting all of us! The numbers are shocking: nearly 1 in 5 alcohol products may be illegal, costing our country R16.5 billion in lost tax revenue that should fund hospitals and schools. 💔

Even more heartbreaking? 49% of people surveyed know someone personally harmed by these dangerous products, and 29% know someone who died from consuming them.

The Beer Association of South Africa, Drinks Federation of South Africa, and South African Liquor Brand Owners Association are working together to fight this crisis and protect consumers.

We all need to be aware and make safer choices. Our health and economy depend on it!
