SKS Nutrition AI: the AI R&D platform for food and beverage formulation

SKS Nutrition AI helps food and beverage R&D teams go from idea to compliant product faster. It generates starting formulas, builds FDA Nutrition Facts labels, screens ingredients against FDA, EU and US retailer rules, predicts sensory profiles, simulates consumer tests and tracks category trends. It is built by SKS Nutrition, an AI-driven innovation company that partners with ingredient suppliers and builds proprietary datasets to train an AI taste model.

Formulation

• AI Formula Ideation: Generate starting formulas for beverages, snacks, sauces and functional foods with AI, then refine them with a food-science assistant, shelf-life checks and sensory targets.
• Ingredient Nutrition Profile: Research a single functional ingredient: USDA nutrient data, active compounds, regulatory claim notes, synergies and commercial products that use it.
• Emulsifier Formula Generator: Design emulsifier systems for beverages, sauces, dressings and dairy alternatives: emulsifier selection, HLB logic and use levels suggested by AI.
• Pet Food Formula: Formulate dog and cat food with AI: special needs, excluded ingredients and budget tiers, with conflict detection when requirements cannot all be met.

Regulatory & Labeling

• Nutrition Facts Builder: Build FDA Nutrition Facts labels from a formula: 21 CFR 101.9 rounding, %DV, RACC serving sizes, single-serving and dual-column formats, with SVG and Excel export.
• Compliance Audit: Screen every ingredient and sub-ingredient of a formula against FDA rules and US private-label programs (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, Kroger, Walmart, Sam's Club, Aldi).
• EU RegCheck: Check a formula against EU food additive categories and nutrition rules before exporting to Europe. Handles EU decimal commas, salt-from-sodium conversion and PDF reports.
• GRAS Notices Search: Search FDA GRAS notices by ingredient, notifier or intended use to check an ingredient's GRAS status before you formulate.
• Color AI SKU Check: Screen a product label's color additives against 21 CFR and US federal and state rules, including synthetic dye restrictions, before launch or reformulation.

Market Intelligence

• Beverage Market Trends: AI beverage market intelligence: trending flavors, competitor scans, a Dynamic Flavor Heatmap and a Sensory North Star target for your next product.
• Food Category Trends (Bakery, Condiments, Frozen, Candy, Processed Meat): AI trend and competitor reports for bakery, sauces and condiments, frozen foods, confectionery and processed meat, with season-aware time windows and shareable PDFs.

Sensory Intelligence

• Sensory Panel: Analyze sensory panel data and predict sensory profiles with AI: attribute profiles, benchmark comparison and taste-misalignment detection for formulas.

Consumer Simulation

• Virtual Persona Lab: Run AI-simulated consumer concept tests and A/B tests with persona panels and a 6-person virtual focus group before spending on real consumer research.
• Retail Shelf Simulator: Simulate how a new food or beverage product performs on shelf across US retail channels, with AI shelf visuals and a performance report.
• Virtual Bar Simulator: Simulate launching a new spirit, RTD or beer in a virtual bar with 100 AI consumers: purchase rate, cannibalization risk, packaging and positioning.

Ingredient Atlases

• Sweetener Atlas: Compare sugars, high-intensity sweeteners and polyols for sugar reduction, with a replacement calculator that also flags the bulk you lose when sugar comes out.
• Energy Drink Atlas: Energy drink R&D atlas: products, flavors, brands, claims, packaging, safety, suppliers and troubleshooting knowledge for caffeine and functional energy formulas.
• Category Atlases (Protein, Sauce, Chocolate, Ice Cream, Cheese, Soda, Snacks and more): Category atlases for protein, protein snacks, savory snacks, sauces, chocolate, ice cream, cheese, soda, candy, supplements, fungi, algae, matcha, chili, citrus, coffee and tea.

Flavor

• Maillard Vibe-Architect: Design roasted, caramel, malt and smoky beverage flavor profiles from a mood on a 1-10 Maillard Mood Scale, generated as a starting formula.
• Mocktail Generator: Generate non-alcoholic cocktail and mocktail recipes with food-science balance of sweetness, acidity and bitterness, for menus and NA beverage development.
