A new food trend rarely starts in a laboratory. It starts on a smartphone, on social media feeds or in in product reviews. A flavour gains attention, spreads across platforms, and sometimes disappears again before a traditional food R&D process has even reached its first prototype. In an industry built around multi-year development cycles, this…

The Algorithm on My Plate: When AI Designs Our Diet for Weight Loss and Sports Nutrition
In an age where smartwatches track every step and apps analyse our sleep, it was only a matter of time before artificial intelligence stepped into our kitchens. The integration of artificial intelligence in the domain of nutrition is designed to assist individuals in achieving their weight loss goals or maximising their athletic performance. Nevertheless, as…
Smarter Meal Planning at Home: How AI Helps Households to Reduce Food Waste
Would it not be great if you no longer have to think about what to prepare for lunch or dinner? And it is even better when someone does not have any leftovers, because sometimes they are not eaten the next day. In Europe, households are one of the biggest causes of food waste. This is…
Emotional Analytics in Food Choice
When Our Feelings Become Data, and Food Becomes a Digital Response In recent years, food choice has shifted from being a deeply personal and intuitive act to a digitally observed and increasingly predicted behavior. What we eat is no longer shaped only by hunger, culture, or availability, but also by data, particularly emotional data. This…
The Hidden Cost of Perfectly Optimized Food
Imagine you walk into a food factory fifteen years from now. The space is black and sterile, humming with the sound of machines. No windows. No natural light. No humans in sight. A mixing machine adjusts water temperature and flour hydration in real time, its sensors reading dough elasticity to the microsecond. Perfect loaves emerge…
Sustainability, Innovation, and Trust: Can AI Satisfy Your Plate and Your Soul?
