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

A success story made in Germany: visionary food technology for resilient, future-oriented supply chains.

Planet A Foods has grown from a small German food technology start-up into an established B2B partner for the global food industry – in just a few years. What drives us is a strong belief in the power of science to rethink how food is made. With ChoViva, our cocoa-free chocolate alternative, we have shown that chocolatey indulgence doesn't have to depend on cocoa: it can be produced at scale from an independent supply chain. Building on this, we continue to develop new ingredient solutions that help food manufacturers become more resilient to raw material volatility.
