EverGrain, an ingredients company backed by Anheuser-Busch, has announced a collaboration with Bright Future foods to address “the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges”.
“We are thrilled to partner with Bright Future Foods on reimagining the food supply chain and developing products that are nutrious, great tasting and sustainable. They are pioneering new ways to help address climate change through food and we are proud to partner with them on that journey,” EverGrain CEO Greg Belt said.
“EverGrain’s innovative processes make its barley-based ingredients one of the most sustainable plant protein and fiber sources in the world, while Bright Future Foods is pioneering climate friendly snacking that starts with greenhouse gas removing grains and targeted sustainable agriculture practices. This collaboration allows us both to leverage our deep-rooted knowledge in agriculture and food processing to pioneer creative and sustainable new solutions for tackling the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges,” Bright Future Foods CEO, Mark Izzo said.
The collaboration comes less than a month after EverGrain announced a nearly $100 m investment in the St. Louis community to convert the Stockhouse 10 building on Anheuser-Busch’s St. Louis campus into its North American headquarters.
Products developed within the collaborative platform will be formulated using EverGrain’s circularly sourced barley protein and fibre and Bright Future Foods’ climate-positive oats.
