Food & Nutrition Contract Processing

Food and nutrition contract processing is when a manufacturer or brand partners with a specialist third-party provider to carry out specific processing steps on their behalf, using the provider’s equipment, expertise and compliant facilities, without the need for capital investment in machinery or personnel.

We have experience processing a wide range of food and nutrition materials, including dietary supplements, protein powders, nutraceuticals, vitamins, functional food ingredients, like collagen or seaweed, and fortified food products. Contact our team to discuss the suitability of your specific material.

Our facilities and processes operate in accordance with recognised food safety standards, including: FSSC 22000, HACCP, Halal/Kosher, AOECS, ensuring all food and nutrition processing is carried out within a controlled, compliant and fully documented environment.

Responsibility is shared between both parties. Hosokawa Micron is responsible for operating to agreed food safety and quality standards, while the client retains responsibility for ensuring the final product meets the labelling, nutritional and regulatory requirements of their target market.
