Griffith Foods Invests $2.5MM in Ingredients Recycling Startup ReGrained
to Expand Product Portfolio
Innovation Fueled by: TERRA, The Food + Ag Tech Accelerator
Industry Trend: Consumer Demands for Healthier Food Options
Consumers are increasingly preferring healthy and environmentally conscious foods due to increasing concerns about individual health and protection of the planet against depletion from factors such as climate change, overfarming, and more.
Griffith Food's Challenge
Griffith Foods, a leader in manufacturing food ingredients, had a limited portfolio in its healthy and environmentally conscious offerings, and therefore had few opportunities to meet this consumer demand and grow topline revenue.
RocketSpace Solution
RocketSpace partnered with Griffith Foods to explore business opportunities within emerging food tech, specifically with differentiated, environmentally conscious products that are nutritious without sacrificing taste.
ReGrained Partnership
Through the TERRA Accelerator, RocketSpace identified and recommended ReGrained, whose technology allows them to upcycle grain into a super-grain flour.
This food technology met Griffith Foods' sustainability initiative and solved for finding new, healthy, and cost efficient ingredients.
Results: Griffith Foods + ReGrained
The TERRA Accelerator enabled Griffith Foods to expand their product portfolio to drive topline revenue.
ReGrained’s technology provides Griffith Foods with a competitive advantage to utilize an exclusive ingredient that also provides cost savings and meets environmental and health standards.
