Eat Curious is a food development company dedicated to providing innovative and sustainable solutions to the foodservice industry. We are committed to creating versatile products that are cost-effective, minimally processed, and have a good nutritional profile.

Approach to Healthcare

Our approach to healthcare is rooted in our commitment to provide versatile solutions that are minimally processed, have a good nutritional profile, and support dietary inclusivity. By offering products made with sustainable ingredients, rich in protein and fibre, and free from the 14 major allergens, we help sites empower their customers to make healthier food choices. Our values align with modern healthcare standards, which recognise nutrition as an essential component of long-term wellbeing.

Impact of Products/Services on Healthcare

We supply multiple hospital trusts across the UK. Our team work closely with sites to equip chefs with a variety of tools, resources, and training. We provide access to versatile ingredients and solutions tailored for healthcare, enabling teams to create a more diverse range of dishes. These solutions are designed not only to enhance menu offerings through nutritious, flavourful meals but also to support broader cost-saving and ESG goals.

Innovation

One of our latest innovations is the development of a dedicated Care Sector Recipe Pack. This resource has been created specifically to support care settings in incorporating our products into menus, with recipes designed for both fully plant-based and hybrid applications. By offering hybrid recipes alongside plant-based options, we're helping chefs introduce more sustainable meals in a way that is familiar, flexible and accessible for residents. Each recipe will also include both nutritional information and carbon impact data. This enables operators to make decisions that balance resident wellbeing, sustainability goals and operational requirements, while demonstrating the measurable benefits of incorporating more plant-forward dishes into their menus.

Future Direction

At Eat Curious, we’re committed to driving innovation in plant-based nutrition and expanding our presence in the healthcare sector. As the demand for healthier, more sustainable food options continues to rise, we’re focused on expanding our partnerships with healthcare providers. One of the main ways we currently work with sites is to encourage meat reduction by adopting a hybrid approach, creating blended dishes using our Dehydrated Mince and Pieces. Through training, resources, and ongoing support, we aim to encourage sites to confidently offer plant-based and hybrid meals that align with modern nutritional standards and patient needs.
