The Food Lab has been built by four graduate students from the Nutrition & New Product Management study. Lars, Kjelld, Tessa and Cindy decided to join forces working on optimizing the range of caterer Cormet.

The Food lab is an innovative collaboration created by students for students ready to tickle your taste buds!

The brand name, ‘The Food Lab’ consists of three different product lines, with expandability opportunities for the future. As a startup company, built by four graduation students in co-operation with staff of the Dr. Meurerhuis, it focuses on healthy, more sustainable products that not only are very tasty but also affordable. The products are produced and sold at the HvA Dr. Meurerhuis as well as the Amsterdam University College canteen restaurants. Its focus lies in stimulating a healthy meal or snack and lowering the threshold to a sustainable choice.

“We see a lot of creativity, innovation and talent at the Summer Fair, Food and Diet Science program at HvA Dr. Meurerhuis, but after this fun event nothing is done with all these spectacular concepts. “We want to bring change in that”, was stated by the nutrition graduates. With added expertise from fellow students and lecturers The Food Lab gives all students the opportunity to bring their ideas into reality. These food concepts are then transformed into tangible, authentic products for everyone to enjoy.

The Food Lab provides a practical learning framework for students and contributes to a tasteful, creative assortment for a healthy and more sustainable choice.

Every Tuesday The Food Lab produces its products for the week. The products are then available in the canteen of the Dr. Meurerhuis and the Amsterdam University College.

The product line ‘Zoetekauw’ offers healthy, sweet snacks to enjoy without guilt!

The cauliflower pizza helps a savoury appetite during the day and the Chickpea burger, lintels burger as well as the Cool Bean salad are a fantastic twist to a mouthwatering lunch.

Tomorrow (Tuesday 16th May), our assortment will be stoked-up with your favourite Food Lab products. Be sure to be accountable of your own actions and make the healthy Food Lab choice! Come appreciate our innovative products and taste the sustainable, flourishing products we have to offer, stimulating young talent, the local environment and enriching your body with healthy nutrition.
