Core offering

Zabio manufactures and sells plant-based food alternatives — including dairy-free milk (Original and Chocolate), high-protein meal replacement shakes (SMARTFOOD Cacao and Vanilla), and sugar-free chocolate products with fruit fillings (BOMBS) — produced through its proprietary Null™ natural lactic acid bacteria fermentation technology. The technology reduces sugars by up to 91% and fats by up to 84% while preserving taste, texture, aroma, and nutritional content, yielding vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, and non-GMO products.

Product overview

Zabio is a food technology company that creates plant-based food alternatives using its proprietary Null™ natural fermentation technology. The product portfolio consists of two main product lines: SMARTFOOD (meal replacement shakes available in Cacao and Vanilla flavors) and MILK (plant-based milk alternatives in Original and Chocolate varieties). The company also produces ZABIO Bombs, sugar-free chocolate products with fruit fillings developed in collaboration with Nestlé Latin America. All products are vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and non-GMO, created through natural fermentation processes that reduce sugars and fats while enhancing nutritional profiles.

Direct peers

• Ripple Foods: US plant-based milk company using pea-protein technology to deliver dairy-like nutrition. Comparable to Zabio in targeting consumers seeking nutritional parity with dairy and clean-label, high-protein plant-based alternatives.
• Ka'Chava: Plant-based meal replacement shake brand offering complete-nutrition profiles with protein, fiber, and adaptogens. Direct peer to Zabio's SMARTFOOD line in category (meal replacement shakes), target consumer, and positioning around 'complete meal' claims.
• Califia Farms: US-based plant-based beverage company offering almond and oat milk, creamers, and plant-based yogurts. Comparable to Zabio's MILK product line in category, target consumer (health-conscious, dairy-avoiding), and premium natural positioning.
• Oatly: Swedish oat-based milk pioneer and category leader; the most established direct competitor in plant-based milk alternatives, comparable to Zabio's MILK line in target market (lactose-intolerant and health-conscious consumers) and product positioning.
• Lily's Sweets: Brand specializing in stevia-sweetened, no-sugar-added chocolate products. Direct peer to Zabio's BOMBS line in sugar-free chocolate category and target consumer (sugar-conscious snackers).
• NotCo: Chilean plant-based food company using proprietary AI-driven fermentation and ingredient technology to create dairy and meat alternatives. Closest comparable to Zabio given LATAM origin, technology-led approach, and overlapping product categories (plant-based milk).
• Orgain: US plant-based nutritional shake and protein powder brand. Comparable to Zabio's SMARTFOOD line in clean-label plant-based protein positioning and meal-replacement / nutritional supplementation use cases.

Emerging players

• Perfect Day: US precision-fermentation company producing animal-free dairy proteins. Comparable to Zabio in fermentation-led approach to dairy alternatives, though operating upstream as a B2B ingredient supplier rather than finished goods.

Broad incumbents

• Beyond Meat: Largest publicly traded plant-based food company with broad portfolio across meat analogs and adjacent products. Adjacent incumbent in the broader plant-based food space where Zabio operates, but not directly competitive on Zabio's specific SKUs.

Regional players

• Fazenda Futuro: Brazilian plant-based meat company with LATAM distribution and brand-building playbook. Regional peer offering insight into how a LATAM plant-based brand scales beyond its home market, relevant to Zabio's geographic expansion trajectory.
