GLP-1 is changing the brief for everyday foods. Manufacturers need to deliver more nutritional value per bite while preserving taste and price. FIOS lets teams work through those trade-offs at the formulation stage, where they are cheap to fix.
Writing from the PIPA team on where food innovation is going, how AI changes R&D economics, and what we're learning from the customers we work with.


GLP-1 is changing the brief for everyday foods. Manufacturers need to deliver more nutritional value per bite while preserving taste and price. FIOS lets teams work through those trade-offs at the formulation stage, where they are cheap to fix.

New peer-reviewed research shows how processing chemistry can improve taste prediction and help R&D teams make more informed formulation decisions before physical trials.

At the GDI International Food Innovation Conference, PIPA founder Ilias Tagkopoulos made the case that AI is already working across food R&D. The real problem is that the results don’t talk to each other.

AI-generated meals landed 47% closer to nutritional targets than their real-world counterparts.
