FAQ

The question serves as a reminder to always assess the status quo. The question is imaginative, it begs us to envision a better version of what the status quo is. It is about unraveling the laws that define our current systems, challenging them and breaking the rules in doing so in order to create a better future of food. Our logo "WhatIF" and the question mark is meant to spark this internal conversation in each of us and to invite ourselves on a thought-provoking journey.

Our story also started with asking ourselves "What if?".
What if the status quo is no longer enough? We are looking at the way the industry produces food and are on a mission to change it one category at a time. And so, we asked ourselves: What if?

First, it was: "What if we could find a way to make instant noodles, shakes, soups and plant based milk healthy?" Then, the question became: "What if what we consume is healthy and good for the planet?" That is still not good enough. We asked ourselves again: "What if every product we manufacture could do all of these things, and uplift farming communities?"

At every step of our journey, asking ourselves what if has led us to a better vision of what the future of food could be. And so, by asking what if at every corner, not only are our instant noodles today healthier for you, they are also good for the planet, and they support farming communities.

And it wouldn’t be the last time we ask ourselves this question. Asking "what if" ensures that we will always evaluate where we are, only to create a better vision of where we can be.

Some of our products contain known allergens, such as gluten and nuts. We advise you to review the allergen section of each product, online or in person, carefully before consumption.
If you have a specific allergy that is outside of the information provided, please contact us directly and we will do our best to guide you on which products are suitable.

Our main ingredient is the Bambara Groundnut, a legume related to peanuts.

Quite simple and straightforward - no! None of our WhatIF products contain any palm oil.

Please reseal tightly and store them in a cool and dry place, away from sunlight so they stay fresh and at their best for as long as possible.

Firstly, compliments on your will power :-)! Typically, a WhatIF product can be stored for around 6-12 months. But please check the “best before” date on the packaging. You will typically find a sticker on the bottom of our boxes.

All our WhatIF products are made in a facility that is Halal Certified by JAKIM and free of meat and alcohol. We are constantly adding new products to our Halal certificate. The products that have already been Halal Certified will have the Halal message displayed on their respective product pages. If you want to check on the status of a product you are interested in, but cannot see the message yet, please let the team know and we can give you an update.

Great question! Packaging is an interesting one...especially in the food industry where it not only has to serve wrapping but also safety purposes. In all honesty, packaging has been on our minds and challenging us right from the get go and we are always looking for better, more planet friendly materials. The ongoing pandemic is not making it easy as supply chains are challenging. Our packaging has been sourced in an environmentally-friendly, socially responsible, and economically viable manner where we can while staying affordable to our customers.

Most of this impact on our planet is determined by packaging materials and how those materials are produced - and because recycling capabilities vary so much from region to region – we’ve decided to prioritize renewable packaging as much as possible. Our ultimate goal is to use only fully recyclable packaging that’s also made from fully recycled or renewable materials. In the meantime, we’re working with our packaging suppliers to get as close to 100% renewable and recyclable packaging as we can.

Did you know that most packaging which has a “paper look & feel” is usually coated with a clear plastic film? We are happy to say that all of our hexagonal boxes do not have that coating and can be fully recycled as cardboard.

Ba,Nut M?LK is a versatile non-dairy lactose-free milk with exceptional nutrition and taste; made from an underutilised crop to increase the range of food we eat and it helps bring back biodiversity to regenerate degraded land

BamNut M?LK is milky, creamy and nutty. Can’t imagine it? Try and taste it for yourself!

Bambara Groundnuts come in various sizes and colours. We are using the goodness of the whole Bambara Groundnut. Therefore, you might observe some particles in the BamNut M?LK.

BamNut M?LK can be made without fortifications, but we wanted to offer you an alternative to cow milk where you don’t have to compromise on your nutritional needs.

Calcium is good for your bones and teeth. Vitamin D2 is needed for the absorption of calcium and is essential for your skin, intestines, kidneys and bones. Finally, vitamin B12 is necessary to maintain a healthy nervous system but it is hard to find it in non-animal products, therefore it has been added to BamNut M?LK to prevent consumers who are on a plant-based diet from having a vitamin B12 deficiency.

No! We break down the starch in the BamNut to release simple sugars, similar to how our body breaks down nutrients in ingested food into simple sugars that can be absorbed by the digestive system.

Unfortunately not yet, but we are working hard towards it! We will let you know as soon as it is available!

Yes, as long as they don’t have any known allergies against peanuts.

Store the unopened pack in a cool, dry place. Once open, keep refrigerated and use within 5 days.

M?LK uses BamNuts as a base, therefore, each cup of M?LK consumed helps to restore degraded lands which would otherwise be left abandoned. Additionally, we have assessed the climate footprint of our BamNut M?LK with the help of Carbon Cloud: 0.46kg CO2e per kg of M?LK are emitted, which is 4.1 times lower than cow milk sold in Singapore! We don’t rest on our laurels though, because we know the process can still be improved, so we are still working on reducing our footprint as much as possible!
