Stop Wasting Time Searching for
Food Science Answers
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, your product development team hit a wall. A novel ingredient. A reformulation challenge. A sustainability question that needs answering before Friday's meeting.
You could hire a consultant. Wait weeks. Pay thousands.
You could search academic databases yourself. Spend days wading through paywalled journals. Miss the crucial study buried in volume 47, issue 3.
You could ask an AI chatbot. Get plausible-sounding nonsense synthesized from Reddit threads and blog posts.
Or you could get a definitive answer from FSTA Insights+.
The problem with most research services?
They're either slow, shallow, or staggeringly expensive. Consultants charge by the hour. Databases require expertise to search effectively. AI tools can't access the peer-reviewed research locked behind paywalls, which may well be the very information that matters for your project.
FSTA Insights+ was created to solve precisely this problem.
What you get
- Reports written by food science specialists, not algorithms guessing from surface-level sources
- Fully referenced from FSTA, the world's most comprehensive food science database with over 2 million research summaries
- Delivered in approximately 7 working days, fast enough to inform real decisions
- Designed for technical teams—regulatory, NPD, and R&D professionals who need both speed and scientific rigour
Investment per report
£600
One question. One comprehensive report. One week.
Less than a day of consultant fees.
Consider what £600 buys you: The collective expertise of IFIS's team of food scientists. Access to research your team couldn't find in a week of searching. Hours of desk research compressed into a single, actionable report. The confidence to move forward without costly trial-and-error.
More importantly, consider what it saves you: Failed reformulation attempts. Wasted R&D hours. Missed market opportunities. The sinking feeling of discovering—six months into development—that someone published exactly what you needed to know in 2023.
