In this special UK Malnutrition Awareness Week episode of Food to Go, brought to you by the New Food team, Emily Walters, Malnutrition Officer for The British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN) joins Assistant Editor Ben Cornwell to shine a spotlight on malnutrition in the UK.

Emily shares what malnutrition is, the importance of hydration, and how to spot some of the early signs.

Later in the episode, Emily and Ben explore the role of the food industry in tackling this issue, and how food innovation and nutritional science have been critical to treating malnourished individuals, both in hospitals and at home.
