The Crespel & Deiters Group and Red Rabbit are teaming up to debut a new AI-linked product development system at Fi Europe 2025. This integrated workflow will connect Red Rabbit’s nextfood.ai platform with Crespel & Deiters’ Functional Ingredient Navigator (FIN), allowing for rapid product development from trend identification to market-ready formulation in one continuous sequence.

Nextfood.ai streamlines early concept work by generating product ideas and draft formulations in minutes, with an assessment function to detect weak concepts before further development. FIN provides information on how specific ingredients affect structure, stability, and processing, allowing developers to link early recipe drafts with functional solutions that match production needs. This approach aims to reduce pilot phases and improve the success rate of new product launches in the food industry, providing a competitive advantage with better products in less time.
