Food technology consulting

We work with plants already producing and with projects that have not bought their first machine yet. Either way we start in the same place: the real numbers.

When it makes sense to call us

  • The product comes out different batch to batch and nobody can explain why.
  • Cost per kilo went up and you need to reformulate without the customer noticing.
  • An export opportunity appears and the product does not meet the destination regulation.
  • The dossier for a regulatory registration is missing and the file has been stuck for months.

How remote work runs

  • Diagnostic video call with your production data on the table.
  • Trials run by your own team, documented on our forms.
  • Review of results and adjustment, until the agreed target is closed.
  • We work in six languages and in any time zone.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell additives or represent equipment brands: there is no commission behind our recommendation.
  • We do not hand over recipes without process: a formula with no temperature curve reproduces nothing.
  • We do not promise deadlines that depend on somebody else’s food authority.
How we work

For plants already in production that need the product to come out the same every day, or that want to launch a new line without burning six months on trial and error.

01

Cost-down reformulation

Redesigning the formula to produce cheaper without the customer noticing: lean-fat-water ratio, functional proteins, phosphate system and thermal yield.

Deliverable
New formula costed side by side with the current one, showing the saving per kilo and the sensory trial proving no quality was lost.
Format
Short project. The service that pays for itself fastest.
02

Export compliance

What has to change in formula, process, packaging and labelling for the product to enter the destination market: European Union, United States, Gulf states, Mercosur or the Andean Community.

Deliverable
Gap report against the destination regulation and a closing plan, with the technical dossier that authority requires.
Format
One project per destination market.
03

Halal and kosher production

Bringing formula and plant in line with halal or kosher requirements: replacing critical ingredients, line segregation, traceability and preparation for the certifying body’s audit.

Deliverable
Compliant formula, segregation manual and a dossier ready for the certifier.
Format
Project. The certificate is issued by the body; we get the plant ready to pass.
04

Shelf life validation

Determining real shelf life by trial — microbiological, physicochemical and sensory — instead of copying a competitor’s date.

Deliverable
Study with the deterioration curve, a defensible expiry date and the storage conditions you must declare.
Format
Trial whose length is set by the product itself.
05

Clean label: less sodium, nitrite and allergens

Cutting salt, nitrite, phosphates and allergens without losing microbiological safety or texture. It is the requirement advancing fastest in every market’s regulation.

Deliverable
Reformulated product with the safety barrier recalculated and a simplified label.
Format
Project, with mandatory microbiological validation.
06

Turnkey livestock projects

Sizing a poultry, pig or cattle operation: stock numbers, housing, feeding plan, health programme, and the figure almost nobody calculates properly — the feed conversion ratio.

Deliverable
Project with phased investment, feeding plan per production stage and a real break-even point.
Format
Project, supported through the first production cycle.
07

Compound feed mill

Design of your own feed mill: grinding, mixing, pelleting or extrusion, and the dosing system that makes every tonne come out like the last one.

Deliverable
Equipment list, flow, real throughput and a formulation programme by species.
Format
Project. Making your own feed usually cuts cost per kilo of meat more than any other lever.
08

Least-cost ration formulation

Calculating the ration that meets the nutrient requirement for the species and stage at the lowest possible cost with the raw materials available in your region — not the ones in the textbook.

Deliverable
Formulas by species and stage, recalculated whenever raw material prices move.
Format
Recurring service: the optimal formula changes when the market changes.
