The Savoury Foundry
Infrastructure Industrial Scale Adaptive Bio-Manufacturing • Foundry-as-a-Service (FaaS)

Engineering the Clean Label Future.

We use a unique choreography of science and flow physics to manufacture what incumbents cannot.

The Savoury Foundry is creating an industrial scale Adaptive Bio-Manufacturing (ABM) platform that converts agricultural co-products into bio-active nutrition delivering the quality of biotechnology with the speed of standard food processing.

We unlock the industry's largest reserve of "stranded" nutritional protein.

The Barrier
Current thermal processing practices destroy flavour.
The Solution
Proprietary bioprocessing + flow engineering to enable stable, high-density clean-label liquids.
The Outcome
Clean label savoury & functional nutrition.

Public materials describe principles and outcomes. Proprietary parameters are shared only under NDA.

Independent Validation
Government Research
Trials at premier state government agricultural research facilities.
Global Biotech
Process supported by the world's leading enzyme technology provider.
Industry Veterans
30-year experts in industrial food processing and manufacturing scale-up.

The Adaptive Bio-Manufacturing Advantage

Deep-tech, infrastructure-first clean-label food-ingredient manufacturing: engineered process constraints, faster regulatory pathways, measurable Scope 3 outcomes.

The Engineering Moat

Incumbent infrastructure relies on high-heat sterilisation that destroys flavour. Our proprietary process architecture enables a product quality that legacy factories physically cannot replicate on existing high-heat lines without redesigning unit operations, controls, and re-qualifying the process.

The Regulatory Arbitrage

We achieve biotech-level performance while operating within standard-food classifications, accelerating time-to-market. Our process leverages standard processing aids, supporting this pathway and reducing regulatory lead time versus novel food routes.

The Scope 3 Solution

We are a Scope 3 Decarbonisation Platform. By upcycling co-products, we lower the Carbon Intensity of purchased goods—and our high-density concentrates further drive efficiency by cutting freight volume by ~75%.

The Proprietary Process

Industrial scale Adaptive Bio-Manufacturing, engineered for repeatability. We share principles and validated outcomes with partners; proprietary parameters remain protected.

Feedstock Conditioning

Targeted conditioning reduces bitterness and unlocks flavour precursors from upcycled substrates.

Controlled Flavour Build

Controlled thermal profiles build deep savoury character and umami without E-numbers.

Thermal Conditioning

Carefully controlled thermal processing preserves roast notes and ensures repeatable industrial safety.

Rheology & Clarification

Proprietary clarification and stability management enable stable liquids and gentle hot-fill pasteurisation.

Safety & compliance posture

  • Designed for a standard-food regulatory pathway; processing aids are used where appropriate (clean label compatible)
  • Validation pathway with independent partners (sensory, repeatability, and microbiological safety)
  • Quality-by-design discipline: HACCP logic, traceability, and data packages suitable for corporate QA

The Case for Partnership

  • Infrastructure advantage: product performance without the flavour damage of high-heat sterilisation
  • Commercial speed: faster time-to-market versus novel-food routes
  • Foundry Partner Programs (onboard → validate → scale supply) create reliability: validated specs, QA dossiers, and repeatable manufacturing outcomes

One Foundry. Multiple Value Domains.

A single industrial platform that upgrades co-products into high-density savoury assets and bio-active nutrition.

Domain A (Volume)
Global Savoury (Est. $15B)
Replacing “Dead Food” commodity products with high-margin, clean label shelf-stable savoury stocks, concentrates, flavour boosters...
Domain B (Impact)
Active Nutrition & Pet (Est. $100B)
Closing the palatability gap in pet nutrition with umami-forward palatants and flavour-pure, neutral-taste performance proteins that reduce the need for flavour masking.
Domain C (Margin)
Clinical Nutrition (Est. $55B)
Clinical & humanitarian nutrition ($55B). Ready-to-consume peptide nutrition for texture-modified diets (dysphagia, aged care, recovery) plus RUTF-class ready-to-use therapeutic nutrition formats aligned to UNICEF-style requirements.

Infrastructure constraint

  • Legacy retort/UHT systems prioritise sterility at the cost of flavour, forcing additives to recover palatability
  • Co-products are downcycled despite being the cheapest source of savoury precursors and functional proteins
  • Concentration and viscosity constraints block clean-label performance at industrial throughput
  • Scope 3 targets demand measurable input substitution and logistics efficiency, not marketing narratives

Platform advantage

  • Proprietary process control enables stability, high density, and gentle hot-fill pasteurisation
  • Foundry-as-a-Service: validated specs + dossiers + program licensing + value-in-use supply
  • Audit-ready trust: partner validation, traceability discipline, and a defensible standard-food pathway
  • Direct Scope 3 levers: upcycled inputs, concentration-driven freight reduction, and waste diversion
