Foster Foods (P) Ltd, was the brainchild of a group of NRIs working in U.A.E.  They wanted to do something fruitful for their home land.  Under the leadership of Mr. Boban Kollannur, the group identified Biscuit industry as the one to be embarked upon and registered Foster Foods (P) Ltd in the year 1987.  The company commenced the production in 1992 and started with few varieties of Biscuits.  Within a short span, the number of varieties and delicacies increased to 44.  Today FOSTER is an accepted household name when it comes to Biscuits

Having catered to the general taste of the common man, the leadership of “FOSTER” felt the need of Biscuits for Fostering health.  The first product in this line was LIFETIME a Zero Sugar Biscuit, for the first time in India, for the consumption of those who should keep a watch on their blood sugar level. This product manufactured from technology developed by Central Food Technological Research Institute, is being well accepted by the consumers in Kerala. Now this product is available in Tamilnadu and Karnataka.

The second in line of health products is a high protein biscuit.  The technology for this biscuit is developed by Defence Food Research Laboratory, a unit of Defence Research and Development Organization.  DFRL developed this product for the consumption of our Defence personnel, for whom maintaining a healthy body is of prime importance.  The High Protein level of this Biscuit is provided by Proteins derived from Egg.  FOSTER acquired rights to this technology and is manufacturing the High Protein Biscuits, which are being marketed under the brand “CHICKEE BICKEE".  Protein is one nutrient, which enhances growth. Hence these Biscuits will be a boon to the growing children and convalescing patients

Foster is embarking upon a new health product shortly.  This is a High Fibrich Biscuit by name FIBRICH.  The formula is devised by the CFTRI to fight constipation, the root cause of many ailments.  Full of roughage (10%), the Biscuit found favour with people who have such complaints.  Apart from sweet and nutritious, the Biscuit is a teatime delicacy as well
 
KARU MURU is another spicy crunchie biscuits, the formula of which is developed by Central Food Technological Research Institute, Mysore. This biscuit fortifies our health with it's natural ingredients,Onion, Coriander leaf, Ginger, Garlic and Green Chilly. CFTRI have used all their ingenuity in bringing out this great creation.
