Fody Food

What Fody Food does

Fody Food Co. is a private, Canadian-founded food company established in 2016 that develops, certifies, and sells Low FODMAP foods targeted at people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and sensitive digestive systems. Its product portfolio spans pantry staples, condiments, snacks, dressings, seasonings, oils, and soup bases, with all SKUs tested and certified Low FODMAP, certified Gluten-Free by GFCO, and made without onion or garlic; selected lines are also Kosher-certified and the line is largely vegan (excluding the Chicken Soup Base). The company's differentiated technical capability is formulation expertise in delivering bold flavor without high-FODMAP triggers, exemplified by a garlic-infused olive oil that leverages the fact that fructans are water-soluble and therefore do not leach into oil.

Fody operates a multi-channel go-to-market: direct-to-consumer e-commerce at fodyfoods.com (US) and fodyfoods.ca (Canada) with a Subscribe and Save program (10% discount, 4/6/8-week cadence), Amazon marketplace distribution, placement in major US and Canadian grocery retailers including Whole Foods, and B2B wholesale via the Faire Marketplace for independent retailers. Pricing spans roughly $6.99–$49.99 per SKU with bundle savings up to 10%. Manufacturing is geographically diversified—olive oils produced in Italy, snack bars/dressings/soup bases in Canada, and other categories in the US—and the company is headquartered in Westmount, Quebec, with a US operations entity. Cumulative disclosed equity funding totals approximately $10.75M+ across 2017, 2020, and 2023 rounds led or participated in by Avrio Capital, District Ventures Capital, Export Development Canada, New Acres Capital, and Clover Vitality. In October 2025, Andy van Ark was appointed CEO to lead the next phase of growth and expansion.
