One of the world's fastest-growing food-tech start-ups

A success story made in Germany: visionary food technology for sustainable, 100% natural and future-oriented supply chains

Planet A Foods has transformed from a small German food technology start-up into a significant B2B player in the global food industry – all within just three years. What has fueled us every step of the way is a strong belief that science holds the key to a better future. With our first ‘no-cocoa’ ingredient ChoViva, we have proven to the world that chocolatey pleasure and a significantly lower climate footprint no longer must be at odds*. And we are further intensifying our research to develop more solutions that will help transform the food industry.* *Evaluations according to inoqo, as of 01/2026 (ChoViva milk recipe: 2.8 kg CO₂e/kg. Milk chocolate: 10.6 kg CO₂e/kg) https://www.inoqo.com/research-methodology
