Healthcare meal replacement manufacturers
At Food Nutrition Partners, we have our finger on the pulse when it comes to producing private label and white label food and snack products that deliver results for our healthcare clients.
The total diet replacement (TDR) approach is used widely by the NHS as part of its NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission Programme and the Healthier You Programme, and our team have years of experience in developing and manufacturing nutritionally complete weight management products to support the scheme.
As part of the Cambridge Nutritional Foods group, our contribution to groundbreaking diabetes research has underlined our reputation as an innovative total diet replacement provider. And, through working with clients like PortionIQ, we’re experienced in the emerging market of GLP-1 snack development and high protein snack formulation too.
Our specialist AA-rated BRCGS accredited manufacturing facilities mean we’re a reliable contract or co-manufacturer for TDR and meal replacement products (MRP) as well as white label GLP-1 snacks. We’re a strategic partner that understands regulatory complexity and can scale demand without compromising quality.
