When Spectra Industries celebrated its 30th anniversary in the global market in 2022, the buzz and attention it attracted was based on the fulfillment of its mandate right from the outset.
With the promise to be the market leader in processing of functional foods, it has indeed become the home of quality foods, giving value for all the customers’ money spent.
That is with specific regards to the quality and quantity of the items produced under a safe production environment.
Beyond the Vision, it has exhibited commitment to its Mission Statement which clearly states that: “We will satisfy the market needs for quality and affordable food products that offer beneficial opportunities as related to the consumers’ well-being and health, while also reducing the risk of diseases, in a way that adds value to all our stakeholders.”
From the nutritional perspective the rush for Spectra cocoa powder drink is based on the knowledge of its immense health benefits.
For instance, cocoa contains plant-based flavonoids especially catechin, epicatechin and procyandin. This powerful trifecta works to relax the blood vessels.
Essentially, the polyphenols, anti-oxidants help to improve on the cholesterol and blood sugar levels, thereby helping to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Also Cocoa powder is rich in theobromine that reduces inflammation and protects the body from diseases such as high blood pressure, cancer and diabetes.
Its focus and assurance on processing and packaging foods that are healthy underscores the certification of all its products by both NAFDAC and the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON).
Amongst these products are snacks, flour, beverages and other favorite functional foods.
In specific terms there are Betamark tomato paste, mango slices that go for N500 each. The defatted soy flour, soghurt drink, Suco chocolate drink and Hyfiba sorghum soy instant meal as well as the Spectra cocoa pouch are there for the asking.

So also is the Sobake defatted soy flour that you are advised to thicken your soup with.
Furthermore, the all-purpose flour of Spectra Foods, made from hard wheat has the nutritional values of containing protein, carbohydrates, fat and fibre.
With calories of 364kcal, 10 grams of protein,76 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fat it is good for the health of the consumers, specifically in this manner.
The 20.5% of protein builds up the body cells. The 1-3% of fat keeps the body warm. The carbohydrates present as starch gives you the needed energy.
While the 3grams of fibre per cup lowers the cholesterol, as well as the blood sugar levels the Vitamin A promotes clear vision, smooth skin and hair health even as it boosts the body’s immune system.
On its part the Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) boosts the immune system as well as body growth. Vitamin B6 (pyroxidine) converts food to energy as the Vitamin B12 cobalamin improves the production of red blood cells. The niacin present in the all-purpose flour is good for cellular metabolism as it also lowers the blood cholesterol level. Now you understand the increasing demand for Spectra Foods and Beverages.
And because of the confidence the food company has in its products it participated at the COWLSO Women Conference exhibition to showcase some of its products including Spectra cocoa powder, the chocolate drink, the yogurt, chewie snacks.
Through that it promoted the nutritional benefits of the cocoa powder as being 100% natural, boosting brain power, lowers blood pressure, managing diabetes, the healing of wounds, and reducing fatigue.
Similarly, it projected the Fast O’ Meal as anti-virus, anti- cancer, protection of the nerves, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging.
The Soghurt made of soy and milk was shown to be anit-diabetic, reduces cholesterol level, prevents liver damage and heart disease because it’s rich in Vitamin, potassium and iron.
As for sales and marketing the capable teams are on ground to take orders and ensure prompt delivery.
In a similar vein, consumers of Spectra foods made from sorghum stand to benefit from the rich content of poly phenols which are be effective against some forms of inflammation while its anti-oxidants prevent cancer.
From all the foregoing, it is patently clear that in spite of the harsh economic challenges bedeviling the investors some are succeeding against all the odds. And Spectra Foods and Beverages happens to be one of such.
It is not surprising therefore, that it has gone ahead to clinch the prestigious award as the Best Agro Food Processing, Manufacturing and Marketing company in Nigeria.
