REFORMUL8 CHALLENGE FUND (RCF)

The third round of the Reformul8 Challenge Fund is now live and open for applications to assist Scottish food and drink producers to make their products healthier.

The Scottish Government’s Reformulation for Health programme is delighted to launch the third round of the Reformul8 Challenge Fund (RCF) to support food and drink businesses with the associated financial costs of reformulation, with funding provided by the Scotland Food and Drink Partnership.

Funding available

Funds available vary from £250 to £5,000 per business. Applicants must provide at least 50% of the total project costs.
