Premix & flavour specialists · South Africa
We develop precise, compliant premix and flavour formulations for food, beverage and nutrition brands. Then it's your call: let us supply the finished blend, or take the formulation and blend it yourself with our support.
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 or flavour — ready to dose straight into your product. No blending overhead, consistent batches, full documentation.
We sell you the formulation and full specification, guide your raw-material procurement, and support your in-house blending and QC. You keep control of your supply chain and cost — with our technical backing behind you.

What we make
Standard ranges and fully custom formulations across premix and flavour.
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.
Ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage premixes — vitamins, minerals, amino acids and functional actives pre-blended for accurate, single-addition dosing into your drink.
Vitamin, mineral and trace-element premixes for animal feed — including poultry and chicken rations — formulated for growth, health and feed performance.
Sweet, savoury and beverage flavour systems, developed and matched to your target profile.
Free-flowing flavour powders for dry mixes, beverages, bakery, snacks and seasonings — easy to dose, store and handle, with consistent results batch to batch.
High-strength concentrated gel flavours for cooldrinks and soft drinks — easy to disperse, ideal for syrups, concentrates and bottling.
Sweetener and sugar-reduction blends for sweets, gums, chocolate and other confectionery — balanced for sweetness, mouthfeel and your label goals.
Flavour, seasoning and functional blends for sauces, marinades, soups and savoury products — tuned to your taste profile and process.
Bring a brief or a benchmark product. We develop, sample and refine a formulation built around your spec.
How we help
From first concept to repeatable supply — pick the parts you need.
Develop new premix and flavour 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.
Help sourcing the right raw materials and suppliers — at the right grade and price.
Dosing rates, blending method and quality-control routines so your in-house batches stay consistent.
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 orders with COAs, or ongoing technical backing for your own blending.
Why FoodChem Consulting
FoodChem Consulting is a South African premix and flavour house. We pair hands-on formulation know-how with practical regulatory experience — so you get blends that perform in your product and stand up to compliance.
What makes us different is the flexibility: you're never locked into buying finished premix from us. If you'd rather control your own supply chain, we'll sell you the formulation and stand behind your blending. Either way, you own the relationship.
