About the Virtual Food Lab
Our start
Since the Fall of 2017, McGill University has offered the Virtual Food Product Development Laboratory, an academic-industrial collaborative initiative for innovative food product development.
Our mission
Our mission is to develop collaborative projects that train, equip and inspire our students with hands-on experience while supporting the growth of the Montréal agri-food community, from entrepreneurs, to start-ups to corporations.
Our personalized customer-based approach begins with an idea generation, conceptualizing different formulations (screening, data analysis), followed by customer evaluations of product prototypes and optimization.
What we can do for you:
• Prototype development
• Textural improvement
• Optimization
• Sensory evaluation
• Shelf-life testing
• Microbiology testing



Current and previous collaborations
Over the past few years, we have had the opportunity to work with some of Montréal's most innovative food companies. Find out more about them:
