Goal

To develop a range of foods that will make their way to grocery store shelves and freezers across the country, including plant-protein powders, frozen pops and bites, and Canada’s first plant-based meal frozen smoothies

Project Summary

With a focus on avoiding allergens while delivering high levels of protein, the companies are using Canadian-grown peas, oat and hemp to develop a range of foods that will make their way to grocery store shelves and freezers across the country, including plant-protein powders, frozen pops and bites, and Canada’s first plant-based meal frozen smoothies.

Evive will lead the development of the new products, commercializing six new or enhanced product lines across Canada. Their work will be supported by Original Foods, who will provide specialized equipment, as well as research and co-manufacturing expertise.
