The distinctive drinks, formulated using whey by-product from cheesemaking and locally sourced fruit juices, would be both nutritious and flavoursome to promote health and wellbeing. This development would open up new marketing channels to accelerate business growth, create employment opportunities, enhance the sustainability of the local agri-food economy and serve to promote the quality image of the local food industry in Kent.
