CIR accreditation - A recognition of scientific excellence

What the CIR accreditation stands for

Your Flavourist has been accredited for the French Research Tax Credit (Crédit d’Impôt Recherche – CIR) for the years 2025, 2026 and 2027. This accreditation, delivered by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, recognises our proven ability to conduct genuine research and development activities with a robust scientific methodology.

Why it matters for our partners

While the CIR mechanism primarily concerns companies subject to taxation in France, the accreditation itself demonstrates that our work meets high standards of technical innovation, experimental design and traceability of scientific results. It highlights our capacity to address uncertainty, explore new formulation pathways, and generate evidence-based conclusions — all essential components when developing new food products or flavour technologies.

Our scientific approach to flavour innovation

Every project entrusted to us follows a rigorous structure: clear research hypotheses, controlled experimental methods, sensory and analytical measurements, iterative optimisation and documented interpretation of results. This methodology ensures reliable insights, reduces technical risks and accelerates decision-making during product development.

Collaboration designed for innovation

Whether you are expanding your flavour portfolio, creating novel food experiences, or exploring new processes and ingredients, our role is to push boundaries with you. We partner closely with your teams to design, test and validate innovative concepts that are both technically sound and sensory compelling.

Let’s build the future of flavour together

If you are driving innovation in food and beverage and looking for a technically-focused partner capable of supporting strategic R&D developments, we would be happy to discuss how our expertise can strengthen your project.
