The press release submitted for rewrite — a Toronto Star restaurant ranking feature titled 'Top 100 Under $100' — contains no functional food, nutraceutical, dietary supplement, or ingredient-science content that meets Functional News editorial criteria.
Functional News covers bioactive ingredients, finished formulations, clinical endpoints, regulatory developments (including GRAS determinations, NDI notifications, and structure-function claims), and supply chain news relevant to the functional foods and dietary supplement industry. A curated dining guide does not intersect with any of these beats.
Operators and suppliers seeking coverage should submit press releases that include a named functional ingredient or bioactive compound, a clinical finding or bioavailability data point, a regulatory milestone, a market-entry or distribution announcement, or a formulation innovation. Materials referencing peer-reviewed studies, standardized extract specifications, CFU counts, mg/serving dosing, or IU values are prioritized for editorial development.
For general food-and-beverage industry news outside the functional and nutraceutical space, the Food & Beverage Magazine network may offer a more appropriate editorial home. Submissions can also be reviewed against the supplement-regulation and clinical-trials coverage desks for eligibility.
