IFF (New York City) has forged a strategic partnership to bring AI-driven personalized-nutrition technology to its finished-product customers. The company announced it has partnered with Salus Optima, a UK-based developer of digital tools for personalized nutrition, health, and wellness.

“By leveraging Salus Optima’s core technology with IFF’s portfolio of health-enabling ingredients from its Nourish and Health & Biosciences business divisions, brand owners can offer consumers a differentiated and engaging personalized nutrition experience that addresses the aspects that influence metabolic health,” says an IFF press release.

IFF’s work with Salus Optima will initially focus on metabolic health, including obesity, prediabetes, high cholesterol, and prehypertension. The companies will make available mobile phone technologies and wearables “to help consumers understand their unique metabolic response to food, supplements, activity, and sleep.”
