We put world-class research, technology and infrastructure at your service - but not on your balance sheet!

CSIRO Food and Nutritional Sciences has the most comprehensive food research and development facilities in Australia. Among the best in the world, our facilities include new purpose-built laboratories, sensory analysis units, pilot scale manufacturing systems, with modern instrumentation for physical, microbiological, and chemical evaluation of food materials. With CSIRO Food and Nutritional Sciences as a partner, you can reduce your investment in equipment and plant.

We offer confidential, personalised results - a priority at CSIRO Food and Nutritional Sciences

Your work is confidential. Our systems, buildings and procedures are designed to deliver a high level of security for your project activities and outcomes.

Project budgets are agreed in advance and timelines specified. If intellectual property is created as a result, ownership is shared according to the contribution of resources. So if you pay for all the work, you own all the IP.
