Your flavour supplier and manufacturer in Singapore
VKA® has created custom flavours for food and beverage brands across Asia since 1971. We are a flavour supplier and manufacturer in one: the flavourists who create the profile and the Singapore flavour house that makes it at production scale.
A full flavour supply, from the profile to the finished system
Most flavour briefs need more than a flavour. We supply the flavour, the colour, the texture and the taste technology that finish it, so a product team works with one Singapore flavour supplier rather than stitching the pieces together.
Flavour portfolios
Essences, core tastes, culinary, colours and textures, built around character and mouthfeel rather than commodity profiles.

A flavourist, an application lab and a sensory panel under one roof in Singapore, so the iteration loop stays short and the brief is met in the real product.

Flavour systems built for the way a category is made and consumed, across beverages, savoury and snacks.
See solutionsA halal flavour supplier, certified in Singapore
Our Singapore site holds FSSC 22000, MUIS and BPJPH halal certifications, and we supply halal flavours into Malaysia, Indonesia and the wider OIC market. Halal status shapes a flavour from the first sample, because alcohol carriers and animal-derived inputs are common in conventional flavour systems, so we build toward it rather than checking it at the end.

We supply flavours for beverages, dairy, bakery, confectionery, savoury and snacks, and develop them in the application they are made for. See the categories we work in and the application-led solutions built for each.
Working with a flavour supplier in Singapore
Who do you make flavours for?
Household-name food and beverage brands across Asia, since 1971. Our work reaches the shelf under their names rather than ours, so we will not name them, but if you have enjoyed a drink, a snack or a dairy product in the region you have very likely already tasted a VKA flavour without knowing it. We would gladly make your product the next one.
Why VKA rather than a flavour trader or distributor?
Because we make the flavour, we do not resell it. For more than 50 years VKA has developed flavours in-house, with our own flavourists, application labs and sensory panels in Singapore, certified to FSSC 22000 and MUIS halal. You work directly with the people who create the profile, not a sales desk passing on someone else's.
How do we try VKA before committing?
Start with a free sample. Send the brief, the application, target profile, format, markets and volume, and we develop and ship a sample with its documentation pack at no cost, so you taste the match in your own product before any commitment.
Can VKA supply flavours at production volume?
Yes, as the manufacturer rather than a reseller: VKA makes its own flavours in our Singapore flavour house and supplies them to food and beverage manufacturers at production volumes, in liquid, powder and emulsion formats chosen to suit your process and shelf life.
Can you develop a custom flavour for our product?
Yes. Custom development is the core of what we do: a flavourist builds the profile, our application lab tests it in your actual product, and a sensory panel evaluates it against your brief before it scales to production.
Are your flavours halal certified?
VKA is MUIS halal-certified in Singapore, covering our premises and flavour range, and we supply halal flavours into Malaysia, Indonesia and the wider OIC market. Scope documentation comes as standard with every sample.
Which food and beverage categories do you supply flavours for?
Beverages, dairy, bakery, confectionery, savoury and snacks, across natural, nature-identical and artificial flavours, plus the colours, taste technologies and reduction systems that finish a product.
Which markets do you serve from Singapore?
Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, China, India and the wider APAC region, with a sister operation, VKA Australia, serving Australia and New Zealand.
How do I request a flavour sample or a quote?
Send us a brief, the application, target profile, format, markets and volumes, and we return a sample and the documentation pack. The more precise the brief, the faster the project.
Send us a brief and we will send a sample
Tell us the application, the markets and the words you need on the pack. A flavourist takes it from there.
