Food has the power to solve great health challenges

What if eating could help you manage your weight, support your heart and care for your gut?

At Raisio, we say yes, it can. We create food innovations that seek to solve some of the most important health challenges of our time: weight management, gut wellbeing and heart health.

Our innovation is rooted in northern plants, especially oats, grains and their fibres. We combine consumer understanding and nutrition science with deep grain and fibre expertise, industrial know-how and strong brands.

Raisio has already shown what this can mean. Benecol®, powered by plant stanol ester, proved that a scientifically validated plant-based ingredient can become a global heart health innovation. And innovative Elovena® oat products have become a staple of healthier breakfasts and snack times for millions of people around Europe.

Now Raisio aims to become Europe’s leading food innovator in harnessing the health potential of northern plants and grains to power healthier lives.

Focused research, powerful networks

We are an European food innovator: small enough to stay focused and agile, but with expertise and networks that make our impact far greater than our size. Our focus areas are clear, and our ambitions high:

Weight Management

Weight Management seeks to find break-through food solutions for satiety and long-term weight management, especially from northern grains and fibres. We ask: How can food ingredients like fibres help people feel fuller for longer? How can they support satiety and respond to growing needs in a market reshaped by weight loss medications?

Functional Fibres

Functional Fibres seeks to discover the most powerful next generation fibres for human health: gut wellbeing, satiety and metabolic health. We ask: What are the most powerful new fibre ingredients? How can they be created from oats, grains and their side streams? How do we implement them in food in a way that is most desirable? In addition, Raisio’s specializes in tailored oats, creating world-class oat ingredients by matching different oat qualities, varieties and ingredients to the right applications.

Heart Health

Heart Health seeks to help more people find food-based cholesterol lowering solutions earlier in life by building the most powerful European heart health research network.
