About Planet A Foods

Do you want to make a delicious difference?

As a fast-growing, mission-driven startup committed to revolutionise the food industry, we're assembling a dynamic A-Team! As our People & Culture Manager, develop innovative ChoViva products, collaborate across teams, optimise formulations for manufacturing, conduct scale-up trials, and provide technical support.

We couldn’t ignore the problem. The chocolate industry has long contributed to environmental harm and human exploitation. We are unwilling to stand by this, as we believe in protecting our planet and the people that create the foods we love… So we created the world’s first 100% cocoa-free chocolate alternative, ChoViva, which delivers a rich, roasted flavour with a solid snap, smooth melt, and subtle sweetness - all while being climate-friendly!

At Planet A Foods, we are on a mission to create dramatically more sustainable food ingredients, and thus save millions of tons of CO2 emissions each year. And cocoa is just the beginning…
