Trustwell

What Trustwell does

Trustwell is a privately held SaaS company headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon (operating under ESHA Holding Company, LLC) that provides end-to-end compliance, food safety, labeling, and supply chain traceability software to the food, beverage, and supplement industries. The company operates a unified platform called Trustwell Connect that combines two established product lines: Genesis Foods (recipe formulation, nutrient analysis, and FDA-compliant nutrition and supplement labeling, supported by a proprietary database of 145,000+ ingredients accumulated since the 1980s) and FoodLogiQ (modular supply chain solutions covering supplier compliance, quality management, product specifications, FSMA 204 traceability, and recall execution). Additional offerings include Food Processor (nutrition analysis for dietitians and educators) and AskReg, an AI-powered regulatory compliance assistant trained on FDA, USDA, and global food authorities across 33 countries.

The company's technology stack combines cloud-based SaaS workflows with proprietary AI capabilities including domain-specialized natural language processing for regulatory Q&A, AI-powered document parsing for supplier COAs and specification sheets, and anomaly detection for allergen, additive, and labeling compliance. Trustwell serves more than 2,500 brands across six vertical segments — restaurants, grocers/retailers, food manufacturers/CPG, wholesale distributors, supplement manufacturers, and growers/packers/shippers — with named customers including Tyson Foods, Conagra Brands, Whole Foods Market, Sweetgreen, Wawa, and Thorne HealthTech. The go-to-market blends enterprise field sales for the FoodLogiQ and Genesis suites with a product-led self-serve channel for AskReg.

Trustwell was formed in 2023 through the combination of Genesis and FoodLogiQ, originally under The Riverside Company's ownership, before TPG's The Rise Fund acquired a majority stake in January 2026 to support scaling operations and innovation investment. Revenue is generated primarily through SaaS subscription licenses (annual and multi-year) for Genesis Foods, FoodLogiQ modules, and Food Processor, supplemented by professional services (labeling consulting, FSMA 204 consulting, training, and managed services) and publicly disclosed subscription tiers for AskReg at $25/month (Standard) and $42/month (Pro).
