Fooz Generation is looking to join European consortia preparing proposals for the FutureFoodS 2026 call, particularly projects focused on innovative food processing, functional foods, healthy ageing and nutrition tailored to specific population needs. We are also open to contributing to new project concepts where our industrial food development and processing capabilities can complement partners with expertise in ingredients, biotechnology, nutrition, health validation or advanced food technologies.
Fooz can contribute as an industrial R&D and food product development partner, with capabilities covering formulation, development of food matrices, incorporation of bioactive and postbiotic ingredients, thermal processing and sterilisation, stability assessment, pilot-scale development, industrial validation and product scale-up. We have experience developing functional and nutritionally tailored foods for different population groups, including senior nutrition, sports nutrition and health-oriented functional foods, using organic raw materials.
We are particularly interested in two potential project concepts:
1. Functional foods and beverages for women across the menopause transition, developing nutritionally and functionally tailored products for perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, including the investigation and application of postbiotics and other bioactive ingredients.
2. Low-sodium, protein-enriched and postbiotic functional foods for healthy ageing, combining significant sodium reduction, nutritional design aimed at supporting muscle preservation and sarcopenia prevention, and postbiotic functionality. The concept includes sterilised creams, purées and texture-adapted foods suitable for older consumers and people with swallowing or digestive difficulties, with research into the stability and functionality of postbiotics under industrial thermal processing.**
We are particularly interested in partners providing complementary expertise in postbiotics and bioactive ingredients, women's health, healthy ageing, cardiovascular and muscle health, nutrition, advanced food processing, ingredient characterisation, functional/clinical validation and consumer acceptance. We are open both to joining consortia already under development and to building new collaborative project concepts with European partners.

Fooz Generation S.L. is a Spanish foodtech SME focused on R&D, formulation and industrial development of functional and nutritionally tailored food products. The company has extensive experience in applied R&D in the food sector and combines scientific and technological development with practical capabilities for pilot and industrial-scale food production.
Fooz develops specialised food and beverage ranges for different population needs, including Baby Food, Senior Food, and sports nutrition foods and beverages. All Fooz products are developed using organic raw materials, integrating organic sourcing as a core principle of the company’s product development strategy. The company also develops functional foods with specific nutritional and health-oriented characteristics, adapting formulations, ingredients, textures and formats to the requirements of different consumer groups.
Fooz combines organic food development with advanced formulation and processing technologies, including the incorporation of bioactive and postbiotic ingredients, development of tailored food matrices, optimisation of pH and processing parameters, thermal treatment and sterilisation, stability assessment during processing, pilot-scale development and industrial scale-up.
A key capability of Fooz is the ability to translate innovative ingredients and scientific developments into real food products that can be processed, validated and ultimately manufactured at industrial scale. This includes the development of products with adapted nutritional profiles, functional ingredients and specific textures and formats for different consumer needs.
Fooz has experience in collaborative R&D projects involving food innovation, functional ingredients and advanced food processing, and is interested in strengthening its European R&D network through FutureFoodS. The company is particularly interested in collaborations connecting innovative ingredients, nutrition and health research with practical food product development, sustainable processing and industrial demonstration.
