BURCON ACHIEVES FIRST COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF FAVA PROTEIN AND OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES FAVAPRO 90%+ PURE PLANT PROTEIN

Burcon NutraScience Corp. has commercially produced and officially launched FavaPro, its 90-plus per cent high-purity fava protein isolate. This milestone marks the latest addition to Burcon's growing portfolio of its next-generation plant-based protein ingredients for food, beverage, foodservice, nutrition and nutraceutical product applications.

As consumer demand for healthy and sustainable protein alternatives continues to grow, Burcon has developed a proprietary process to extract and purify protein from fava beans -- an environmentally friendly, nutrient-rich legume known for its high protein and fibre content. Like yellow peas, fava beans are nitrogen-fixing crops that improve soil health and reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers, making them an environmentally friendly ingredient source for product developers and manufacturers.

"The commercial launch of FavaPro marks an important milestone in Burcon's growth strategy and demonstrates our ability to efficiently scale and diversify production at the Galesburg facility," said Kip Underwood, Burcon's chief executive officer. "FavaPro was one of the most sought-after plant proteins at the recent IFT First trade show. By adding this premium ingredient to our portfolio, we are meeting accelerating demand, enhancing Burcon's position as an innovation leader in the rapidly growing plant protein market."

FavaPro is a high-purity plant protein isolate with over 90-per-cent-protein content. Naturally non-genetically modified and hypoallergenic, FavaPro features a neutral flavour profile and an off-white colour, enabling seamless integration into a wide array of food and beverage applications -- from dairy alternatives and nutritional beverages to snacks and baked goods. Designed to meet the evolving needs of food formulators and ecoconscious consumers alike, FavaPro delivers outstanding taste, colour, nutrition and sustainability.
