About our brand

The Pure Food Co was founded after watching a family member's illness make it impossible for him to get the nutrition he needed. The emotional impact set us on a mission. We wanted to find out how we could help people thrive when they were at their most vulnerable.

Our research found a complex & costly challenge around nutrition exists, that is impacting the health & happiness of older people, and placing huge strain on aged and health care sectors.

However it is a challenge that can be met with the right tools and technology. Improving nutrition will greatly impact the health & happiness of older people, and reduce overall healthcare costs.
