SAT - Scientific Advisory Team

The KDD Scientific Advisory Team (SAT) was commissioned in 2020 by Sir Mohammad Jaafar, Chairman and CEO, Kuwaiti Danish Dairy Company (KDD) to inform and empower the development of best in class (nourishing, delicious, affordable, commercially viable) food and beverages that support metabolic well-being. The SAT is comprised of leading experts in the fields of metabolic health and nutrition, medicine, research, food data science, public health education, and consumer advocacy.

Efforts of this team were featured on the United Nations Food System Summits Dialogues website: https://summitdialogues.org/dialogue/36661/. The KDD SAT has written and published a peer review methods paper in Frontiers in Nutrition: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2023.1098453/full.

An abstract of the methods paper, a poster, and an academic presentation were featured at an international symposium on metabolic health and nutrition in June of 2022: https://www.swedish.org/for-health-professionals/cme/conferences/metabolic-health.
