FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vancouver, BC – April 1st, 2026 — Crush Dynamics, a proven science-backed ingredient innovator, is proud to announce their top 92nd placing on the 2025 FoodTech 500, a global ranking by Forward Fooding of companies driving innovation and momentum in the food technology sector.
This impressive achievement crowns four consecutive years of being named to the list, with each year’s ranking higher than the last.
Crush Dynamics produces patented flavor enhancement ingredients with exceptional benefits from nutrient-dense pressed grapes. Through their proprietary fermentation process, naturally occurring compounds “activate,” transforming them into versatile ingredient solution products developers can confidently rely on in their formulation toolkit. With their commitment to working in hands-on partnership with manufacturers, outcomes can include substantial sugar and sodium reduction, enhanced mouthfeel, and naturally extended shelf life, all within existing systems. Crush Dynamics’ approach focuses on creating measurable and definable product improvements without requiring trade-offs in cost, performance, or scalability.

“Our climb up the FoodTech 500 year after year proves that Crush Dynamics is driving real change,” said Kirk Moir, CEO of Crush Dynamics. “By tackling formulation challenges with a science-backed ingredient technology, we’re not just innovating, we’re delivering measurable results, and it’s rewarding to see that recognized on a global stage.”
Crush Dynamics’ ingredients, rich in fermented fibers and polyphenols, have been shown to enhance mouthfeel and texture. In a controlled barbecue sauce study, 90% of panelists perceived the reformulated product containing Crush Dynamics’ ingredients as thicker and more satisfying compared to a starch-based control.
Due to the high antioxidant capacity, Crush Dynamics ingredients extend shelf life. A customer study indicates an approximate 54% shelf-life extension, supporting meaningful cost savings and potential food waste reduction. Savings are made possible not only by reducing the need for high-cost sweeteners but also the natural flavoring additives normally used to build back taste; Crush’s ingredients enhance flavor, allowing for matched or even improved results. These results reinforce Crush Dynamics’ ability to deliver commercially relevant improvements, including profitability.
“Our focus is on helping manufacturers improve not only their products, but also their business,” Greg Christopher, Advisory Board member, explains. “Our unique ability to reduce cost-driving ingredients and naturally extend shelf life helps to alleviate supply chain challenges, while enhancing reliability and profitability.”
