Vitamin & mineral premix specialists · South Africa
We formulate and blend vitamin and mineral premixes, fortification and nutritional blends for food, beverage and feeding-scheme programmes. Take the finished blend from us, or buy the formulation and blend it yourself.
How it works
Same formulation expertise — you choose how much of the process we handle. Not sure which fits? Tell us your brief and we'll recommend the right path.
We formulate, source the raw materials, blend, quality-check and deliver a finished premix — ready to dose straight into your product. No blending overhead, consistent batches, full documentation.
We sell you the formulation and full specification, with the raw-material list, dosing rates and blending method you need to produce it in-house. A handover consultation is included to get your first batches right. You keep control of your supply chain and cost.

What we make
Standard ranges and fully custom premix formulations — blended in-house to your specification.
Single or multi-vitamin blends — water- and fat-soluble — tailored to your dosage, carrier and application.
Iron, zinc, calcium, iodine and trace minerals in the right salt forms and bioavailability for your matrix.
Combined micronutrient premixes engineered for stability, dosing accuracy and even distribution.
B-complex premixes (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) for energy drinks, supplements and fortified foods — blended and dosed to your specification.
A complete vitamin & mineral premix built to deliver 100% of the daily Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) — dosed to your formulation specifications — for fortified foods, beverages and supplements.
Premixes for staple-food fortification — maize meal, wheat flour and more — aligned to SA fortification requirements.
Micronutrient premixes for pap, maize meal and staple foods — dosed to your fortification targets, with flavouring options where required.
Whey and protein-based blends fortified with vitamins, minerals and functional actives — formulated to your protein and nutrient targets.
Complete nutritional premixes for protein shakes and meal-replacement products — balanced micronutrients, accurate dosing and consistent blending.
Electrolyte and rehydration formulations — sodium, potassium, magnesium and carbohydrate systems balanced for effective rehydration.
Premixes for cooldrinks, RTD and powdered beverages — vitamins, minerals and functional actives pre-blended for accurate, single-addition dosing.

Micronutrient premixes and fortified blends formulated and blended for school feeding and nutrition programmes — built to your nutrient targets, dosed per ration and supplied at programme volumes.
Bring a brief or a benchmark product. We develop, sample and refine a formulation built around your spec.

Vitamin, mineral and trace-element premixes for feed rations — including poultry — available on request.
What we do
Formulation and blending, from first concept to repeatable supply.
Develop new vitamin, mineral and nutritional premix formulations, or reverse-engineer and improve an existing one.
Formulations and labelling aligned to South African food regulations, with clear nutrient-reference (NRV) guidance.
Clear specifications, certificates of analysis and conformance documents for every formulation.
For the premixes we blend, we source the right raw materials at the right grade and price.
In-house blending to your formulation, with homogeneity and quality checks on every batch.
Trial batches and samples so you can validate the formulation in your own product before scaling.
Simple to start
Four steps from your brief to ongoing supply or support.
Your product, target nutrients or flavour profile, volumes and any regulatory needs.
We develop the formulation, share the spec, and provide a sample for you to validate.
We supply the finished blend — or you take the formulation and blend it in-house.
Repeat production runs with COAs — or the finished formulation handed over for you to blend.
Why FoodChem Consulting
FoodChem Consulting is a South African premix house specialising in vitamin and mineral premixes, fortification and nutritional blends. We formulate and blend in-house — so you get premixes that perform in your product and stand up to compliance.
We also formulate and blend for school feeding and nutrition programmes, where accurate micronutrient dosing at scale matters most. And you're never locked in: if you'd rather control your own supply chain, we'll sell you the formulation to blend yourself.
