My Story

I am Lishia Daya Khilosia, the founder of The Ingredient Worx.

I am a qualified Magister Technologiae in Food Technology (Cum Laude) & Member of the Golden Key Honour Society with almost 30 years’ experience working in the food industry in South Africa & the United Kingdom.

It has been my absolute privilege and a source of great professional pride that I have worked as a contract R&D technologist and ingredient solution manufacturer and supplier to some of the world’s most famous restaurant, fast-food chains, hospitality and retail brands. This has included pioneering a new household brand of mayonnaise and standardising recipes for large industrial kitchens, particularly for hotels and similar where conference catering is their speciality.

We understand your needs

Practical Approach to Product Development & Manufacture

We assist food businesses that may lack the infrastructure to support permanent research and development (R&D) activities and help to manage their raw material inventories more efficiently.

We also manufacture our own unique range of products in BRC-accredited UK food processing facilities. Each one is tailored to suit our client’s exact requirements and can be provided with appropriate religious and other product certifications – such as halal & kosher – when required. We take into account the method of processing clients employ, the age of the processing equipment, the desired sensory attributes – like texture and flavour – in order to ensure our clients successfully deliver on their product brief.

Our innovative ingredient solutions can be tailored to both food manufacturers and businesses within the hospitality industry, as well as to help food start-ups maintain control of their formulations more effectively. We share with you how to use our specialised blends to streamline safe food production and save costs. We believe that working together is the best way to bring your desired food products to life.

Our commitment

Our commitment is to support food businesses to become more cost efficient and innovative, both in their research and development activities and inventory management. Using technologically advanced and sustainable ingredients of the highest quality, we guarantee both food safety and superior functionality for both the production environment and the end user application.

Our business dealings are maintained with the greatest integrity, confidentiality, and dedication. We focus our attention on the finer details and provide absolute transparency and care throughout our partnerships, supporting you to achieve more.

We limit our focus to a few projects at a time. This allows us to provide the best service to each client with the essential care required to design and deliver safe, world-class foods.
