From Injectables to Digestibles

Nuritas Brings the Science of Whole Food Peptides to the Summer Fancy Food Show 2026, Redefining the Future of Functional Nutrition

Nuritas, the biotech company pioneering the discovery and clinical validation of bioactive peptides from whole foods using AI, made a powerful statement at the Summer Fancy Food Show 2026, held June 28–30 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. At Booth 3405, the Nuritas team engaged hundreds of food industry professionals, formulators, and ingredient buyers in conversations that are reshaping how the industry thinks about peptides.

About the Summer Fancy Food Show

Produced by the Specialty Food Association, the Summer Fancy Food Show is North America’s largest specialty food and beverage event, attracting more than 20,000 industry professionals and
showcasing thousands of exhibitors across emerging trends in food, wellness, and innovation. The 2026 edition placed spotlight on functional ingredients and precision nutrition, making it the ideal
stage for Nuritas to introduce the broader food and beverage industry to its groundbreaking peptide ingredients.

Educating a New Generation of Formulators

Throughout the three-day show, the Nuritas team led rich, science-forward conversations that drew a clear and important distinction: the peptides making headlines in wellness circles, often associated with injectables and clinical settings, are fundamentally different from the orally bioavailable, food- derived peptides Nuritas is bringing to market. Where injectable peptides require medical administration, Nuritas peptides are designed to work within the body through everyday eating. Visitors to Booth 3405 learned how Nuritas uses its proprietary AI platform, Magnifier, to discover peptides naturally occurring in whole food sources, which are then rigorously clinically validated for efficacy and safety. The result is a portfolio of bioactive peptides that are not only scientifically substantiated but also heat-stable, application-tested across real food systems, and fully compatible with the demands of modern food and beverage manufacturing.

“ It’ s been really exciting being able to explain to people the difference between injectable
and ingestible peptides, and all the science and validation that goes behind our products.
The heat stability we have – we are entering a whole new world in precision nutrition and
just becoming healthier and better in our lives.”

 Veronica Borne, Food & Beverage Director, Nuritas

Real-World Applications, Real Interest

A significant point of excitement at the booth was Nuritas demonstration of how its peptides can be seamlessly incorporated into everyday food and beverage products. From protein bars and ready-to- drink beverages to functional snacks and dairy alternatives, Nuritas peptides are application-tested across diverse real food systems, meaning they maintain their efficacy through the cooking, processing, and formulation conditions that manufacturers work with.

‘I always thought peptides were just a skincare buzzword, but it turns out there’s so much more to them! I learned all about Nuritas peptides and their science-backed ingredients like PeptiStrong (for muscle health) and PeptiSleep (for better sleep), which are now being used in everything from wellness formulas to functional foods. I even got to try their ginger wellness shot, and it was delicious!’ Molly Amber, travel and food content creator.

Precision Nutrition, Powered by Science

Nuritas’s participation at the Fancy Food Show reflects a broader shift in the industry toward precision nutrition, targeted, evidence-based approaches to food that support specific health outcomes. By unlocking the bioactive potential within whole food sources, Nuritas is building a new category of ingredients that are at once rooted in nature and validated by rigorous science.
The company’s presence at the show is part of a strategic push to educate the food and beverage industry on the distinction between ingestible and injectable peptides, and to position Nuritas as the
definitive leader in the former. As consumer awareness of peptides grows, Nuritas is committed to ensuring that the conversation is grounded in accessibility, safety, and science.
