Bumblebee Food and The Broth Lab have formalised a partnership to produce what they describe as the world’s first bone broth cookies for children in UAE, with a Memorandum of Understanding signed at the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival (SEF) 2026.
Bumblebee Food, a UAE-based brand specialising in baby and children’s nutrition, and The Broth Lab, a bone broth producer operating in the region, have joined forces to bring a product to market that neither company says exists elsewhere in the world.
The cookies are made using slow-simmered bone broth sourced from The Broth Lab’s grass-fed, hormone-free Mini Moo range. The broth contains collagen, amino acids including glycine, and minerals.

The range comes in four flavours – beetroot, banana, cheese crumbles, and coconut – and includes variants such as Gluten Free Cookies, Artisanal Cheese Crumbles, and Spiced Crumbles.
The product contains no artificial preservatives, refined sugars, or trans fats, and is produced in the UAE using locally sourced ingredients.
“We are incredibly proud to join forces with The Broth Lab to bring to market a product that truly does not exist anywhere else in the world. By signing this MOU at SEF, a hub for local innovation, we are reinforcing our commitment to the ‘Made in UAE’ movement. Our mission has always been to provide mothers with a ‘farm-to-freezer’ solution that is both convenient and uncompromising on health. These cookies are more than just a snack; they are a nutritional tool designed to support brain development, immune strength and gut health in a way that is accessible for busy modern families,” Qadreya Al Awadhi, Founder and CEO of Bumblebee Food said in a statement.
The partnership has been positioned in line with the UAE’s National Strategy for Wellbeing and government directives aimed at reducing childhood obesity through the reduction of trans fat and refined sugar consumption in children’s diets.
Ingredients are sourced from Emirati farmers, with production taking place in the UAE. The cookies are available through Bumblebee Food’s online platform and through retail partners across the country.
