DuPont Nutrition Biosciences

DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences was a global leader in the specialty ingredients and bioscience markets, providing innovative solutions for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. The company was formed through the strategic combination of DuPont's nutrition assets with Danisco and Solae, focusing on high-growth areas like probiotics, enzymes, and plant-based proteins. In February 2021, the division completed a $26.2 billion merger with International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) via a Reverse Morris Trust. This merger created a powerhouse in the global ingredients industry, with the legacy DuPont business now operating within IFF's Health & Biosciences and Nourish divisions. The company is particularly recognized for its extensive clinical research into the human microbiome and its large-scale fermentation capabilities.
