Chef Robotics meal assembly robot earns NSF certification

California-based Chef Robotics earns NSF certification for its robotic module C-001748. The certification means that the robot adheres to food safety and cleanability standards.

Chef’s AI-enabled meal assembly robot operates alongside workers on food production lines, picking and placing ingredients from conveyors into trays. The robot has been certified against NSF’s commercial food equipment standard NSF/ANSI 169 – Special Purpose Food Equipment and Devices. Within that standard, it is the only NSF-certified food portioning robotic module.

“This NSF certification is a significant milestone for Chef,” said Rajat Bhageria, CEO and founder of Chef Robotics. “It gives our customers added confidence that our robots are food-safe, sanitary, and easy to clean. By showing that our product meets rigorous food manufacturing standards, we’re able to strengthen our relationships with existing customers and better support new partners across the industry.”
