Jimmy Joy: one meal with 175 health benefits

Updated on 09/04/2026

172 health benefits in one meal

Since established in 2014, we have strived to create the healthiest meals for you through extensive scientific processes

But, Perhaps you're curious: how do we acquire the nutritional gold in the sea of ingredients and what is “healthy” exactly?

Lucky for us, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has been our north star in this quest. Back in 2006, EFSA came up with a regulation to control the claims made on food products in terms of the healthiness of the products. We've counted a grand total of 175 health benefits bestowed upon you by Jimmy Joy

You can take your time to explore the benefits or jump straight into the specific topic that interests you - it's up to you.
