Daily Fresh Food

What Daily Fresh Food does

Daily Fresh Food B.V. is a Dutch, privately held producer and supplier of meals founded in 1936 and headquartered in Geleen, Netherlands, with 101–250 employees. The company sells food and nutrition products, meal components, and complete food solutions to healthcare institutions in the Netherlands, including elderly care homes, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, disability care facilities, and mental health and youth care organizations. Its core technology is the sous vide (vacuum-sealed) cooking method, applied at scale to preserve nutritional value and extend shelf life; the company operates an in-house production facility and its own logistics fleet with delivery routes covering the provinces of Limburg and Brabant and a 24/7 customer service operation. The portfolio spans over 12,000 products across fresh produce, convenience foods, meat, fish, dairy, frozen, bread and pastries, and medical nutrition.

The company's commercial model is B2B enterprise sales to healthcare organizations, layered onto digital ordering infrastructure. Customers transact through the My Daily online ordering platform, use the My Daily Menu weekly menu cycle developed by dietitians and head chefs following Dutch Food Wheel guidelines, and can deploy in-facility service concepts including the Kies & Geniet tablet-based à la carte patient ordering system and a Restaurant Concept for hospitality-style dining. Beyond product supply, Daily Fresh Food provides training and consulting services covering preparation techniques, equipment operation, hygiene, and hospitality, delivered by food professionals, nutrition scientists, and dietitians including culinary consultants embedded on-site at client facilities. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with institutional procurement norms.

Revenue mechanics combine transaction-based product supply and professional services revenue from training programs. The operating model is geographically concentrated (two Dutch provinces) and vertically specialized (healthcare-only), supported by a 2026 strategic partnership with Flora Professional to integrate plant-based cream alternatives as part of a sustainability-focused product roadmap. Named enterprise customers include Koraal (disability care), ORO (elderly care), and Zuyderland (hospital), with references to broader institution-level engagements.
