Roquette Showcases Its Expanded Consumer Healthcare Capabilities at Vitafoods Europe 2026

Experts will share insights on consumer ready innovations for everyday health at booth 3F112

LILLE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Roquette, a global leader in plant-based ingredients, excipients and pharmaceutical solutions, will present its expanded portfolio at Vitafoods Europe 2026 which is taking place from May 5 to May 7 in Barcelona. Roquette’s offering is designed to help consumer healthcare brands stay future‑ready and accelerate consumer-centric innovations for everyday well-being.

As consumer expectations rise and shelf competition intensifies, dietary supplement and over-the-counter (OTC) brands, as well as contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs), face growing pressure to deliver clean-label products that combine efficacy, strong sensory experiences, regulatory confidence, and speed to market. At Vitafoods Europe 2026, Roquette will demonstrate its role as a versatile partner, supporting customers from early concept to commercial launch across multiple dosage formats such as hard and softgel capsules, gummies, (mini) tablets, and chewables.

Where plant-based power meets high-end performance for diverse dietary requirements

“Roquette’s consumer healthcare business is built on a strong legacy of trusted and innovative ingredient brands,” said Laura Owens, Global Consumer Healthcare Marketing Leader for Roquette’s Health and Pharma Solutions Business Unit. “We are here to support supplement brands and CDMOs with solutions designed for today’s fastest growing consumer health needs such as GLP-1 related solutions, stress relief, or sustained sleep.”

Roquette’s broadened consumer healthcare portfolio and expertise has expanded after acquisitions to include Qualicaps hard capsules and former IFF Pharma Solutions brands such as SeaGel® carrageenan‑based softgel technology and VERDIGEL™ pectin premium for gummies. It offers everything needed to ensure supplement and OTC products are ready to meet diverse dietary requirements such as vegan, halal or kosher. Across formats, Roquette enables brands to deliver products that align with consumers’ well-being and health routines as well as clean-label expectations, ultimately building long-term value and trust.
