CHICAGO – July 2, 2025 – The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), a nonprofit scientific organization committed to advancing the science of food and its application across the global food system, is proud to announce the launch of CoDeveloper, a proprietary AI-powered R&D platform that delivers science into the product development process, accelerating formula development and overcoming technical roadblocks to help bring the world better food. Built by IFT’s team of food scientists, this platform harnesses the computing speed of AI to connect users to IFT’s 85-plus years of peer-reviewed research and published content while they’re developing market-competitive products.
Key features include Sous, a built-in generative AI co-scientist, advanced formulation tools for iterative development, and science-optimized reverse engineering, CoDeveloper also features enterprise-grade security to keep a user’s proprietary data safely connected to nearly a century of proven, trusted science when users need it most.
“The food system is evolving rapidly, and IFT is uniquely positioned for this moment,” said Christie Tarantino-Dean, IFT CEO. “With more than eight decades of supporting scientific leadership and a global community of experts behind us, CoDeveloper is our bold response to the urgent need for smarter, faster R&D tools, and it reflects our commitment to shaping the future of food through trusted science and information.”
CoDeveloper will be unveiled to the public in Booth S4842 at IFT FIRST, the annual food research, science, and technology event that attracts many of the top global food and beverage leaders across academia, government, and industry. Through cutting-edge scientific programming and multi-disciplinary discussions, IFT FIRST addresses the biggest issues impacting the food industry across novel technology and innovation, health and nutrition, consumer insights, and food safety. This year’s keynote sessions will focus on AI, food additives, sugar and salt reduction, as well as GLP-1 agonists.
