THE MISSION
Proxy Foods helps Food & Beverage R&D teams create better products faster by using an AI-powered platform that streamlines formulation and innovation. Teams can design, optimize, and iterate on recipes using a rich ingredient database, analytical tools, and a feedback-loop mechanism that removes guesswork, bias, and inefficiency from product development.
For example, an R&D team working on a new plant-based snack can input constraints like cost, nutrition, and flavor, and Proxy Foods will generate and refine optimal formulations in a fraction of the time. The plug & play platform is fully customizable to each organization’s needs, while ensuring complete data ownership and confidentiality for all users.
