Food and nutrition product experts

We develop and test delicious, healthy recipes in-house and conduct nutritional analysis using the latest software. We can develop recipes which comply with nutrition and health claims legislation, enabling you to make bold statements such as “low fat” or “high fibre” to consumers. Utilising our food photography service ensures that the entire recipe development process is smooth and streamlined.

Our team of food and nutrition experts can also assess the overall health profile of your food product and can advise on any changes needed to make it more sustainable or nutritious. Plus, we’re also experienced in cross checking your food labelling to ensure compliance with the latest regulations.

Founded by a dietitian, why is HRS an ideal partner?

Here at HRS, we understand the industry better than most. Our team of registered dietitians and nutritionists have first-hand experience working in the food and healthcare industries. We stay up-to-date with the latest research, as well as the latest trends in food and nutrition.

We understand the science and health benefits of every ingredient that goes into a food product, and the health of the consumer is at the heart of everything we do. Armed with this knowledge and experience, we know what makes a great product and how to sell it.

Recipe development and nutritional analysis

Our specialist team of registered and experienced dietitians and nutritionists are on hand to help with this. We can help you to develop recipes using our in-house test kitchen. We can analyse and examine the ingredient properties to understand the need for each ingredient and/or examine the method of production to advise on any changes. We can also determine the nutritional content of the final product.

To further assist you in developing your recipe, we can set up and manage consumer taste trials, according to your specific target demographic.

New product development (NPD)

We help you to develop a brand new product to bring to the market.

We work closely with you to understand your vision and then help you every step of the way in order to make this vision a reality.

In the beginning stages of developing your new product, we help you to create a Product Brief and a Business Case. These outline your product, anticipate costs and timings, and test consumer acceptability. We can offer tailored coaching for costings and budgeting, freedom to operate and patents.

We use test kitchens in-house where we can help you to make prototypes and then support as you produce a scaled recipe and test this in consumer trials. From these trials, we will help you to perfect your product, prepare it for retail and can further assist you in the marketing of your finalised product so that it flies off the shelves.

Food styling and photography

Here at HRS, we have a keen eye for detail. We will work closely with you to understand your vision for your product, and then help you to make this vision a reality. From styling to directing to editing, our talented culinary team can do this all in-house.

Assessment and advice on the overall health profile of a food product 

We can examine and assess the health profile of your food product as well as help you to make any changes you desire. Our specialist team of registered and experienced dietitians and nutritionists can work with you using our test kitchen to make any necessary recipe changes in order to meet your goal. We can also work out the nutritional profile of the final product.

Food labelling and allergens

By analysing your food product, we can identify the ingredients and any allergens, as well as helping to make improvements if these are desired. Our team can then create eye-catching, legally-compliant food labels and packaging which are aligned with your branding guidelines.
