Find quick answers about Omnivorus SmartFood, our services, clients, capabilities and approach to food innovation, formulation, reformulation and smarter sourcing for food and beverage brands.

Omnivorus SmartFood helps food and beverage brands, manufacturers and operators develop, reformulate and source smarter products. We combine food innovation strategy, formulation support, functional ingredients and smarter sourcing to move projects from insight to product concept, ingredient selection and market‑ready execution. Our work focuses on healthier food systems, marine and plant innovation and Blue Economy opportunities
We work with established and emerging food and beverage brands that want to innovate or strengthen their portfolios. We also support manufacturers and co‑manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, retail and food service operators and healthcare or institutional clients building healthier and more differentiated offers. Many of our collaborations involve international projects where sourcing, import and regulatory considerations are as important as the product concept itself.
Omnivorus offers a combination of strategy, formulation and sourcing services for food and beverage projects. This includes product and portfolio strategy, concept development, recipe design and formulation, prototype and validation support, clean‑label and functional reformulation and ingredient and partner sourcing for scale‑up. We aim to connect the creative side of product development with the technical, sourcing and import realities that make a solution viable in the market.
Yes. We support both product innovation and ingredient or partner sourcing as part of the same process. On the innovation side, we help define concepts, nutrition targets, formats and functional benefits, often integrating marine and plant‑based ingredients, microbiome science or Blue Economy approaches. On the sourcing side, we identify and evaluate ingredient suppliers, co‑manufacturers and technology partners, including cross‑border and import options, to ensure the concept can be produced reliably at scale.
We work across a wide range of food and beverage categories where functionality, health and feasibility matter. This includes hybrid meat and plant‑based products, functional snacks, baked goods, baby and kids nutrition, beverages and coffee alternatives, clinical and healthcare applications and other better‑for‑you concepts. In many cases, we use semi‑finished marine and plant‑based functional ingredients that extend shelf life, improve nutrition or enable cleaner labels.
Omnivorus combines food innovation, formulation expertise and sourcing and import know‑how in a single team. We are deeply connected to marine and plant ingredients, microbiome science and Blue Economy ecosystems, which allows us to bring next‑generation functional ingredients into real products. At the same time, we pay close attention to supply chains, regulatory questions and industrial feasibility so that concepts can be produced, sourced and imported in a reliable, scalable way.
Yes. Sustainability is at the core of our work. We focus on marine and plant‑based functional ingredients that support Blue Economy principles, lower environmental impact and help replace ultra‑processed components with cleaner, more functional alternatives. We design solutions that can improve shelf life, reduce waste and align with healthier, more sustainable and inclusive food systems, while still fitting existing industrial workflows and supply chains.
We frequently support reformulation projects for brands and manufacturers. This can include improving nutritional profiles, reducing sugar, salt or additives, removing allergens or ultra‑processed components and integrating functional ingredients that support microbiome, metabolic or immune health. We also work on shelf‑life optimisation and cleaner labels. Our approach connects formulation changes with realistic ingredient sourcing and import options, so that the new recipe can actually be produced and supplied.
Yes. We work with manufacturers and co‑manufacturers that need support identifying ingredients, semi‑finished functional components or technology partners, including international sourcing and import pathways. We help evaluate suppliers, understand technical and regulatory requirements and assess how new ingredients or formulas can integrate into existing lines. Our goal is to reduce risk around supply, import and industrialisation while opening access to innovative marine and plant‑based solutions.
We usually start by clarifying the opportunity, constraints and desired outcomes for the project. From there, we define the concept and nutritional or functional targets, explore formulation routes and identify potential ingredients, suppliers and co‑manufacturers, including cross‑border sourcing and import scenarios when relevant. Throughout the process we combine strategic guidance, technical support and network access, working as a partner that connects product vision, formulation realities and sourcing or import decisions.
