Our Story

Every Transformation Begins With A Story, For Us, It Begins With Rune.

When Sophia’s son, Rune, was placed on prescribed formula to support his weak nutritional intake, she hoped it would help him thrive. Instead, he struggled—cycling through multiple formulas, enduring 16 hour feeds, and vomiting a third of every meal. Stomach discomfort, hospital admissions, and weight loss became his norm.

Everything changed when she found health professionals willing to explore real food through blended meals. Almost instantly, Rune’s health transformed—his medications reduced, hospital stays became rare, and, for the first time, he truly began to thrive

Realising this wasn’t just Rune’s struggle but a global challenge, Sophia set out with the help of a good friend to make blended feeding easier. From this mission, Food Untethered was born—a convenient, nourishing solution for tube-fed individuals and those who require liquid based meals everywhere.

OUR STORY

Meet The Founders

Our story began in the kitchen, not the boardroom.

Sophia and Nicholas shared a bold dream: to revolutionise nutrition by making real food accessible to everyone, no matter how they need to consume it. What started as two friends with an idea has grown into a passionate family, with Petty, John, Becky, and other brilliant minds joining our mission to transform lives through better nutrition.

Today, we're creating real meals for tube-fed individuals, supporting families across the globe, and breaking down barriers that have existed for far too long. But we're just getting started. Our vision extends beyond products – we're building a community, innovating the future of nutrition, and expanding access worldwide.

Together with you, we're creating a world where everyone has the freedom to enjoy real, nutritious food – their way.
