About Proxy FoodsProxy Foods | AI Recipe Formulation
At Proxy Foods, we introduce Food & Beverage (F&B) manufacturers to the era of AI recipe formulation.
Our platform turbocharges the innovation process for your R&D team by combining advanced data analytics and food science insights with a comprehensive and reliable ingredient database for making data-driven decisions.
Recipe formulation is complex. It requires tackling the sensory (taste, texture, aroma, and appearance), nutritional, and cost variables, with agility and precision.
We equip R&D teams with essential tools and proprietary software to amplify their unparalleled creativity, empowering them to innovate and develop the F&B products they envision, leading to impactful outcomes and the discovery of new flavors.
Embrace the taste of change. As demand for nutritious and sustainable food increases, our food systems face unprecedented pressure, driving the search for more efficient and ethical solutions that nurture our planet and respect animal welfare. For these solutions to be widely adopted, they must also be delicious and affordable.
This is a complex challenge, but we're here to help make the process easier and more exciting.
