Job Description

Who are Purpose Driven Foods?

The mission -

IMPROVING THE METABOLIC HEALTH OF THE WORLD – ONE SLURP, BITE OR CRUNCH AT A TIME.

The world is facing a metabolic health epidemic. Obesity is set to double in the next decade. Alzheimer’s, Type 2 diabetes, fatty liver and heart diseases are on the rise. Mental health issues are increasingly common. The food we eat (often packed full of carbs and sugar) is largely to blame.

Fortunately, the solution is clear. Keeping your carb intake down, whilst cutting out sugar and seed oils has been scientifically proven to improve your all-round metabolic health. That’s where we come in.

Our founders - Tom, Ben & Ioana – realised that with years of experience & knowledge in their respective fields, they had the ingredients to build a brand that could make a real difference. We’ve brought science and food together to create a range of delicious, healthy products, enabling you to enjoy the complete “foodie experience”.

This is food, with no compromise just joy
