Organic Frozen Meals for Independence from 6 Months by Chewsome
Chewsome: Revolutionizing the Frozen Baby Food Market in Europe
As of July 2025, Chewsome is making waves in Europe as a pioneering company offering deep-frozen, tangible, organic meals compliant with Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) principles for babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 6 years.
Based in Munich, Chewsome stands out in a niche and relatively new market, specializing in BLW-compliant, frozen baby and toddler meals. Unlike other European companies such as Sofina Foods and Finnebrogue, which focus on frozen seafood, pork, plant-based alternatives, and general frozen foods, Chewsome is the first startup in Europe to explicitly focus on this segment.
Chewsome's products are designed for independent eating, promoting motor skills and healthy eating habits, and are fully organic without additives. The company's mission is to bring real, nutrient-rich meals to the freezer aisle, challenging the status quo of store offerings that are often dominated by jars and pouches, not "real food."
The company's founding story began with the personal experience of one of the co-founders, who developed the product due to a feeding problem with their child. Today, Chewsome aims to establish its brand nationwide in stationary retail with at least three product lines within a year. In five years, the company aspires to be the leading brand for frozen baby and toddler food in Europe, offering a range that supports parents throughout their child's development.
Chewsome's approach to business is characterized by self-reliance and strategic outsourcing. The company handles vision, brand building, product development, and customer proximity in-house. However, it is not afraid to bring in experts when necessary, particularly in regulatory issues or logistics.
One of the biggest challenges faced by Chewsome has been fundraising. Despite this, the company appreciates the network in Munich, including dedicated founders, great events, and a growing community around female founders and impact startups.
Munich has the potential to be a strong location for sustainable food innovations, but Kristina Schreiner, one of the co-founders of Chewsome, believes that more courage is needed to collaborate beyond the classic organic standard. As Chewsome continues to grow and innovate, it is poised to make a significant impact on the frozen baby food market in Europe and beyond.
