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

A success story made in Germany: visionary food technology for a sustainable, 100% natural and cocoa-free chocolate alternative

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; a tomorrow we can only build by caring for ourselves and the planet. With our first ‘no-cocoa’ ingredient brand ChoViva, we have proven to the world that chocolatey pleasure and sustainability no longer must be at odds. And we are further intensifying our research to develop more solutions that will help transform the food industry.
