Revyve Expands to North America Through Partnership with Lallemand Bio-Ingredients
Transforming Food Texture with Healthy and Sustainable Ingredients
WAGENINGEN, THE NETHERLANDS – December 4th, 2024 – Dutch FoodTech pioneer revyve is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Lallemand Bio-Ingredients, a global leader in fermentation-based solutions. This collaboration not only marks Lallemand as revyve’s exclusive distributor in the USA, Canada and Mexico but also strengthens the partnership as revyve sources one if its key raw materials directly from Lallemand. Together, the two companies are setting a new standard for sustainable, gluten-free, animal-free, GMO-free and natural food innovations.
The partnership combines Lallemand’s extensive expertise in the production and commercialization of yeast-based ingredients with revyve’s cutting-edge technology to deliver high-performance, animal-free texturizing ingredients that target a growing market of health-conscious and environmentally aware consumers.
Jordania Valentim, Chief Commercial Officer of revyve, shared:
“Lallemand’s exceptional reputation as both a supplier and commercial partner makes them the perfect partner for revyve’s expansion into North America. By sourcing ingredients from Lallemand, produced using the principles of circular economy, we ensure the quality and sustainability of our ingredients. Lallemand’s extensive market knowledge and connections allows us to bring these innovations to key customers looking for allergen-free, vegan, and natural solutions.”
Unlocking New Opportunities for Food Manufacturers
Revyve’s proprietary process transforms baker’s yeast into versatile food ingredients suitable for egg replacement and other texturisers, without compromising texture, taste, nutrition or functionality. The partnership with Lallemand will enable manufacturers to address consumer demand for transparent, ethical, healthy and sustainable food choices.
These yeast-based ingredients are particularly well-suited to create textures such as fluffiness, firmness, cohesiveness, crispiness and stretchiness, in:
- Gluten-free and egg-free applications, including baked goods, cheese and sauces, where allergen concerns often pose a barrier.
- Plant-based and vegan products, offering superior texture and functionality to match traditional animal-based ingredients.
- Natural food innovations, aligning with healthier trends and minimizing the use of synthetic food additives
Bob Villeneuve, Global Sales Director – Savory, Lallemand Bio-Ingredients, stated:
“Our collaboration with revyve represents a significant step forward in advancing sustainable food production. Revyve’s high performance yeast ingredients are a great addition to our existing portfolio of premium solutions in various categories from savory to bakery. Together we continue to create new possibilities for manufacturers to innovate and thrive in the dynamic North American food market”.
A Sustainable Partnership with Impact
Revyve’s ingredients are made using a gentle, chemical-free process and have a 95% lower CO2 footprint than egg white powder. This partnership underscores the shared commitment of both companies to the principles of the circular economy and climate resilience. With initial product rollouts planned for 2025 within United States, Canada and Mexico, revyve and Lallemand are set to empower manufacturers to lead in food innovation, particularly within the booming allergen-free and additive-free sectors and with customers seeking for solutions to mitigate the challenges of the egg supply chain. Customers can look forward to tailored solutions backed by expert technical product application support from both the revyve and Lallemand teams.
