What is Erudus?

In today's fast-paced food industry, accurate and accessible product information is crucial. Whether you're making, selling, or serving food, you need reliable infomation on everything from allergens to nutritional content. This is where Erudus comes in.

What is Erudus? An overview

Erudus is a leading online platform designed as a central hub for all essential food product data. Erudus, in the past, has been described as a digital library for food specifications, connecting food manufacturers and brand owners directly with wholesalers, caterers, and retailers. The idea behind Erudus is that it streamlines the way product information is shared, ensuring everyone in the food supply chain has instant access to accurate, up-to-date, and compliant data. Making lives easier and safer.

How does it work?

At its core, Erudus simplifies data exchange. Food manufacturers and brand owners upload comprehensive product specifications in one place for Erudus users to access. Erudus then validates this data and makes it available to users within Erudus. Any updates or changes to a product's information are reflected live, which guarantees that everyone has access to the most current product data.
