The new relationship includes a series of four functional confection mixes that will incorporate GanedenBC30.
Ganeden Biotech claims that GanedenBC30 has an ability to survive harsh manufacturing processes, unlike other probiotic strains, due to the naturally-occurring layer of organic material that protects the genetic core of the bacteria, allowing for GanedenBC30 to survive the manufacturing process and still provide its added health benefits, which includes supporting digestive and immune health.
Alicia Lehota, president of Tropical Nut & Fruit, said: “We wanted to ensure that our products maintained the same flavor and consistency when infused with a probiotic, and GanedenBC30 allowed us to do that.”
Andrew Lefkowitz, president and CEO of Ganeden Biotech, said: “We are excited to be able to provide our patented probiotic to such a great company, especially one that is similarly committed to superior customer service and nutritional excellence.
“The yogurt raisins are the first product of this partnership, but we look forward to developing similar confections and continuing to expand on this partnership in the near future.”
Ganeden Biotech sells probiotics in the US through its Digestive Advantage and Sustenex brands. It also licenses its patented probiotic bacteria, GanedenBC30, for use in commercial food and beverage applications, nutraceuticals and in animal health industries.
