EQUII, a food technology company, has signed a new partnership with French baking company Bridor to transform the baking process.
The collaboration is intended to enhance the quality and nutrition of bakery products.
Under the partnership, EQUII will supply Bridor with its protein-packed yeast flour.
The ingredient features a complete protein profile, containing all nine essential amino acids.
Bridor, a subsidiary of Le Duff Group, will use this flour to create a variety of baked goods. These include dinner rolls, sandwich carriers, artisan loaves, sliced bread, French toast, and more.
These products will be available to Bridor’s network of food service clients across North America.
This includes hotels, restaurants, bars, convenience stores, in-store bakeries, retailers, coffee shops, airlines, cruise lines, retirement homes, hospitals, army bases, and schools.
The protein innovation company utilises advanced fermentation science to create high-protein grain flours packed with complete protein.
Last year, the brand launched its flagship bread varieties, offering 8g to 10g of protein per serving and 30% less carbs.
Recently, EQUII introduced a new line of pastas, including Rigatoni with 26g of protein per serving and Mac & Cheese with 19g of protein per serving.
This allows consumers to enjoy their favourite comfort foods more healthily, without sacrificing taste.
EQUII co-founder Baljit Ghotra said: “We are excited to partner with Bridor, a company that shares our commitment to quality and innovation.
“This partnership will allow us to bring the benefits of yeast protein to a broader audience, offering delicious and nutritious options to bakeries and restaurant operators.”
Bridor’s expertise in bakery products, combined with EQUII’s yeast protein flour, will deliver a superior experience for consumers seeking taste and nutrition.
This collaboration aims to meet the increasing demand for high-protein, plant-based foods while maintaining great flavour.
Bridor CEO Eric Juillet de Saint-Lager said: “For the first time in our company’s history, we are selling protein-packed products.
“This collaboration with EQUII allows us to enhance our product offerings with high-quality, complete protein, meeting the evolving needs of our customers.”
