China’s Leading Functional Gummy OEM Showcases Breakthrough Odorless DHA Gummies and Full-Spectrum Manufacturing Capabilities at Europe’s Premier Nutraceutical Event
VITA FOOD Europe, the continent’s most influential trade exhibition for nutraceuticals, functional food, and dietary supplement industries, recently concluded in Spain, gathering thousands of industry leaders, R&D experts, brand owners, and raw material suppliers from across the globe. As a specialized contract R&D and manufacturing expert in functional nutrition, Ningbo Jidian Health Technology Co., Ltd. (JILDAN) made a prominent appearance at the event, presenting its full portfolio of custom functional food solutions, proprietary gummy manufacturing technologies, and one-stop OEM/ODM service system.
The exhibition served as a key platform for JILDAN to engage in face-to-face technical dialogue with European partners, showcase its 10,000㎡ 100,000-class GMP production capabilities, and explore in-depth business cooperation with brands across Europe and beyond. With a focus on technological professionalism and long-term collaborative growth, JILDAN’s participation further solidified its reputation as a reliable China-based manufacturing partner for global functional nutrition brands.
VITA FOOD Europe: A Strategic Gateway to the European Functional Nutrition Market
As one of the most authoritative B2B trade shows in the global nutraceutical calendar, VITA FOOD Europe attracts decision-makers from branded supplement companies, retail chains, e-commerce sellers, and R&D institutions across the EU, North America, and Latin America. For overseas brands seeking high-quality, cost-effective, and compliant contract manufacturing partners, the show is a primary venue for evaluating supplier capabilities, discovering innovative formulas, and benchmarking industry trends.
For JILDAN, participating in VITA FOOD Spain was a strategic step in expanding its European market presence. With growing EU demand for functional gummies, probiotic products, infant special diets, and plant-based nutrition, the exhibition allowed JILDAN to directly present its technical strengths, quality control systems, and flexible customization services to a highly targeted audience of brand owners and procurement managers.
On-Site Showcase: JILDAN’s Core Technologies and Flagship Product Lines
At its exhibition booth, JILDAN featured a curated selection of its most competitive products and manufacturing technologies, drawing consistent interest from visiting attendees. The spotlight was on the company’s industry-leading odorless DHA gummy technology, a 10-year R&D breakthrough that eliminates fishy aftertaste through four proprietary deodorization processes: raw material pre-treatment, formula pre-emulsification, low-temperature low-oxygen production, and full-chain nitrogen-filled packaging.
Visitors were able to sample the DHA gummies firsthand and review detailed technical data on shelf-life stability, oxidation resistance, and sensory performance. Many attendees noted that the flavor profile and zero fishy aftertaste exceeded the standard of most European-made DHA gummies currently on the market.
Beyond DHA gummies, JILDAN also showcased its full 11-category product portfolio:
- Functional gummy series (collagen, biotin, ashwagandha, multivitamin, probiotic gummies)
- Softgel and hard capsule products
- Compressed candies and effervescent tablets
- Solid beverages, including infant special diet formulas and probiotic powders
- Plant-based beverages, jellies, and chocolate nutritional products
Backed by 21 national patents and an R&D team with over 80% bachelor’s degree or higher, JILDAN’s on-site technical team walked visitors through formulation customization, dosage form selection, regulatory compliance guidance, and private label packaging solutions — demonstrating the depth of its one-stop service model.
In-Depth Technical Exchange: Advancing Industry Standards and Formula Innovation
Beyond product display, a core focus of JILDAN’s participation was professional technical exchange with European industry peers, R&D institutions, and raw material suppliers. The JILDAN technical delegation held multiple dedicated discussion sessions covering key industry topics:
- EU regulatory compliance for functional foods and food supplements, including EFSA guidelines, novel food approval procedures, and labeling requirements for the Spanish and broader EU market
- Advanced gummy processing technologies, such as low-temperature vacuum boiling, micro-encapsulation of active ingredients, and oxidation control for oil-based nutrients
- Sustainable and clean-label production trends, including vegan gummy formulas, sugar-free solutions, and plant-based raw material applications
- Infant nutrition product quality control systems, with a focus on safety standards and traceability for special dietary foods for infants and young children
These technical dialogues allowed JILDAN to share its manufacturing expertise while also gaining insights into the latest European market demands and regulatory updates. Many visiting R&D managers expressed strong interest in joint formula development projects, particularly in the areas of brain nutrition, gut health, and beauty-from-within functional gummies.
Business Cooperation Milestones: New Partnerships and Long-Term Client Growth
On the commercial front, JILDAN’s VITA FOOD participation delivered substantial results. The team held in-depth business negotiations with dozens of European brands, including established supplement companies, fast-growing D2C e-commerce brands, and Spanish retail chain buyers. Multiple parties reached letters of intent for custom private label projects, covering functional gummies, probiotic powders, and soft capsule products.
In addition to new client development, JILDAN also met with several existing European partners on-site to review ongoing cooperation, expand product lines, and align on annual supply plans. These face-to-face meetings further strengthened trust and laid the groundwork for deeper, long-term strategic partnerships.
For JILDAN, the exhibition reinforced a clear market signal: European brands increasingly value not just competitive pricing, but also manufacturing professionalism, R&D capability, strict quality control, and reliable supply chain stability — all areas where JILDAN has built distinct competitive advantages over more than a decade of industry focus.
