Owner / Consultant
Shaun Adams
Have a great idea for a food product but not sure how to move it from concept to launch — or a product already on the market that's suddenly giving you trouble? I've spent the last 15 years working through exactly that process, across products ranging from nutrition bars and beverages to baked goods, confections, extruded snacks, and cultured dairy.
That experience built a broad and deep expertise in functional ingredients and how they interact within different food systems. Food Function Unbound exists to be your partner in working through the development process as efficiently as possible — whether that means moving from ideation to launch, or solving the technical issue that's holding your product back right now.
