Fooditive Group is a Dutch biotech company based in Rotterdam, founded in 2018. It licenses precision fermentation, enzymatic bioconversion and upcycling technologies to food manufacturers rather than selling bulk ingredients as its main model. Its platform includes Non-Animal Casein, a dairy-identical protein for cheese analogues, yogurts, dairy alternatives and shelf-stable beverages, along with a fermentation-derived sweetener (5-keto-D-fructose), FAOX-C enzyme technology, a fat replacer made from avocado seeds, a potato-peel emulsifier, a banana-peel thickener and a beta-carotene-based natural preservative. Licensing partners receive technology transfer packages, standard operating procedures, process flow diagrams and regulatory dossiers, and the company also offers contract manufacturing networks and pilot programmes. The company reports a strategic partnership with Leprino Foods. Several applications are still in development or ideation and not yet commercial. The sweetener has self-affirmed GRAS status in the United States, and EU Novel Food and UK submissions are in preparation.
