Healthy Eating in Mauritius: NeoFoods at DodoFresh, Sixteen Years
Healthy food in Mauritius is no longer an expat niche or a dusty shelf in the corner of a hypermarket. Since 2010, NeoFoods has been the Mauritian house that makes organic mueslis, gluten-free granolas and short-ingredient chocolates available across the whole island — not as a simple reseller, but as a producer-distributor. Close to 240 references pass through their hands in the DodoFresh catalogue. This article explains who they are, what they make themselves, and why we made them one of our pillar partners.
Voice of the maker — NeoFoods, since 2010
NeoFoods is a Mauritian company launched in 2010. Sixteen years on, they are both producer and distributor — the combination that makes them rare here. When we talk about healthy food in Mauritius in its "made here" form, we're talking in large part about NeoFoods.
On the production side, they blend their own mixes on the island: organic mueslis, granolas, multi-seed crispbreads, peanut butters. Their gluten-free RAW range — 400g mueslis, 375g granolas — is now one of the most affordable organic options here, at Rs 205–295 a pack. Small batches, short formulas, a Mauritian signature.
On the distribution side, NeoFoods brings the healthy brands into Mauritius: English Tea Shop, ButtaNutt, Happy Culture, Vitalia, Cape Herb & Spice, The Bridge, Caffeluxe, Wazoogles, Mestemacher. Local production plus imports chosen one by one — that's what gives the shelves of DodoFresh — the NeoFoods collection a consistency you can't fake in two months.
