The collaboration builds upon Superbrewed’s commercial launch of
their patented biomass protein, called Postbiotic Cultured Protein.
Postbiotic Cultured Protein is a non-GMO, allergen-free,
nutrient-dense bacteria biomass protein that recently received US
market green light from the FDA. In ingredient evaluations,
Fonterra determined that the excellent function and nutrition of
Postbiotic Cultured Protein complement dairy ingredients in food
applications with growing consumer demand.
Additionally, Superbrewed demonstrated that its non-GMO,
fermentation platform could be adapted to ferment other inputs.
Thus, the multi-year joint effort seeks to develop new biomass
protein solutions based on the fermentation of multi-feedstocks,
including Fonterra’s lactose permeate, which is produced during
dairy processing. The objective is to add value to Fonterra's
lactose by converting it into high-quality, sustainable protein
with Superbrewed's technology.
Bryan Tracy, CEO of Superbrewed Food, stated, "We are
excited to be partnering with a company of Fonterra’s stature, as
it recognizes the value in bringing Postbiotic Cultured Protein to
market, and is a pivotal step towards expanding our offerings of
biomass ingredients that further contribute to sustainable food
production."
Chris Ireland, GM Innovation Partnerships commented,
"Partnering with Superbrewed Foods is a fantastic opportunity.
Their cutting-edge technology aligns with our mission to provide
sustainable nutritional solutions to the world and respond to the
global demand for protein solutions thereby creating more value
from milk for our farmers."
