Sozo Foods

The aim of Sozo Food is to develop and supply food products fortified with micro-nutrients to reduce micronutrient deficiencies in target groups. Micronutrient deficiency is commonly associated with malnutrition. Even though mostly associated with developing countries, this is by no means exclusive to these countries, and has become a common ailment even in developed countries where illness and lifestyle often result in nutritional deficiencies. In association with the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), a patented bouquet of non-synthetic micronutrients in the form of a versatile and natural premix has been scientifically developed to use in different food products. These products are specifically developed and tailored as an easy administered supplementary food to address the deficiencies associated with malnutrition and nutritional deficiency. The application of the premix in the food products allows for a single serving that could provide up to 50% of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV). It provides a spectrum of vitamins and minerals to address micronutrient deficiencies, promote physical growth and development, and to strengthen the immune system. We are introducing a range of fortified food products in an attempt to reduce micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries. Our method is fortifying food products with those micronutrients known to be absent or deficient in the diet of the majority of people, especially in the diet of vulnerable population groups. Sozo Food products are distinguishable from other products and claims in the market place. The use of non-synthetic and natural micro-nutrients and vitamins allows for high bioavailability superior to the normal and commonly used synthetic additives in other supplementary food products. The patented premix, Nutri Caro-E was developed by researchers from the Functional Foods Unit at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT).
