From food ingredient distribution to recipe development: How Foodology by Univar Solutions can help your business
While it may not be the same memorable dish, irresistible snack, or delicious bakery item, everyone has a favorite food. From that first delicious bite to savoring the last tasty morsel, it’s no longer just food to the consumer — it becomes a memorable experience to relive and share with family and friends.
Our Foodology by Univar Solutions team understands the importance of choosing the right ingredients and how vital that is to the food and beverage experience your customers enjoy. As a global distribution leader of high-quality ingredients from world-class suppliers, we serve nearly every primary consumer market in the world, providing you access, scale, and speed-to-market for competitive advantage. Our efficient logistics systems, temperature-controlled fleet, and greener transportation options maintain optimal product quality, help you optimize costs, and reduce your environmental footprint.
With one of the largest private fleets and supply chain networks in the industry, we help ensure that food ingredient orders – whether smaller custom batches or large bulk deliveries – reach you when you need them, all at a competitive price point.
At Univar Solutions, our in-house application development specialists and state-of-the-art test kitchens refresh recipes to enhance product efficacy while simultaneously advancing our vision for a more sustainable future.

Looking for ways to reduce sugar or bolster clean label claims to appeal to health-conscious consumers? Or alternatives to overcome critical ingredient supply chain shortages that won’t impact shelf life or degrade quality? Exploring vegan and plant-based solutions that offer the same taste, texture, and mouthfeel of standard meat or dairy products? Our test kitchens around the globe collaborate with customers to overcome complex technical and formulation challenges. Our food scientists can work as an extension of your team to help develop innovative recipes and concepts using the latest technologies and selections from our versatile, world-class ingredient portfolio.
