Dedicated to improving food and health products, meeting radically changing food patterns  

NIZO is one of the most renowned contract research organisations for better food and health in the world. We are a private and independent company, headquartered in Ede (the Netherlands) in the heart of the Food Valley region, employing over 100 scientists and support staff.   

We team up with our customers in their innovation process when reformulating existing products and the creation of new ones. Whatever the challenge, only by looking at it holistically successful and sustainable products can be created. We bring together experts in many different areas of food science and production including: protein technology, fermentation, bioinformatics, health, food processing, food safety and sensory experiences of food. 

All these steps come together at our pilot plant – the largest in Europe for third-party use and suitable for food grade processes. Here science meets reality, manufacturing challenges can be solved in our lab and solutions quickly implemented in existing processes. Science-based and fully verified – saving time, energy and money.
