About the role

At the FoodHealth Company (formerly bitewell), we’re not building another food app — we’re on a mission to fundamentally change the way the world eats. Our vision? A world without diet-related disease. And with $7.5M in Series A funding led by Reach Capital and Ulu Ventures, we’re poised to make it happen.

Our flagship product, the FoodHealth Score, is the most widely distributed retail nutrition rating in the U.S., providing an instant reflection of the nutritional quality of any food — already live in Kroger stores like King Soopers, Ralphs, and Harris Teeter. We believe wellness should be accessible to every family in every zip code, and we’re building the infrastructure to make that possible.
