Gold partner
REDUCED is a Danish food-tech company specialising in upcycled, savoury taste solutions for food manufacturers and professional kitchens. By transforming underutilised side streams from the food and agriculture sectors, REDUCED delivers natural, clean-label ingredients that enhance flavour while reducing environmental impact.
At the centre of its innovation is the proprietary Waste-to-Taste platform — a bioprocessing approach combining solid-state fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis. This platform enables REDUCED to extract rich, umami-forward flavour from raw materials such as vegetable trim, crab shells, and shrimp side streams, creating high-performance ingredients for use in soups, sauces, condiments, ready meals, and plant-based or hybrid formulations.
REDUCED partners with food producers who are looking to improve the flavour and sustainability of their portfolios while meeting ESG targets. With taste as the starting point, REDUCED proves that circularity can deliver exceptional results — on the plate and for the planet.
