The limited-edition snack bars were produced in Vantaa by Fazer. The Solein used in Fazer Taste the Future comes from Solar Foods\u2019 pilot factory, capable of producing small quantities of the novel protein. Solar Foods\u2019 first commercial-scale production facility, Factory 01, will begin operations in H1 2024 and scale the company\u2019s annual production volume up to 160 tonnes. Assuming a single meal would use 20 grams of Solein, this translates to 8 million Solein-powered meals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar Foods expects the growing production volume to enable the development and production of new Solein-powered foods. As commercial production comes closer, the Fazer Taste the Future snack bar represents a good test for future market roll-outs. Working together with Fazer comes at an excellent timing and adds to the momentum of Solar Foods, co-founder and CEO of Solar Foods Pasi Vainikka emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is an exciting moment for us working with Fazer \u2013 the very first time people can try Solein\u00ae within a consumer snack bar. This demonstrates the potential of Solein also as a sustainable and nutritious fortifier. With this introduction in Singapore, we are getting valuable customer feedback on Solein’s viability in a new product category and also get a sense of the consumer acceptance of future ingredients. Our shared aim extends beyond this pivotal moment, targeting a wider scale European launch in 2025-2026 with a whole range of products,\u201d Vainikka<\/strong> commented.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is Solein?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Solein is a microbial protein-rich powder that contains all the essential amino acids. It can be used to replace existing proteins in a variety of foods, for example in alternative dairy and meat, different snacks and beverages, noodles and pasta, or breads and spreads. It is the first ever novel food disconnected from the limits of traditional agriculture. This type of production method has the potential to transform the
sustainability, availability, and transparency of what we eat and where food can be produced.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u00a9 Solar Foods<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Solein is produced using a bioprocess where microbes are fed with gases (carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen) and small amounts of nutrients. The bioprocess resembles winemaking, with carbon dioxide and hydrogen replacing sugar as the source of carbon and energy, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solein is 65-70% protein, 5-8% fat, 10-15% dietary fibres and 3-5% mineral nutrients. The macronutrient composition of Solein cells is very similar to that of dried soy or algae. Solein provides iron and B vitamins and is exceptionally functional. Solein can be used with a wide variety of other ingredients: it vanishes into foods and doesn\u2019t change the taste of familiar, everyday food products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production of Solein is not reliant on agriculture, weather, or climate: it can be produced in harsh conditions such as deserts, Arctic areas, even space. The process does not require animals or photosynthetic plants, making Solein the world\u2019s most sustainable protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solein will become available for commercial use for the first time. It is aimed at food brands looking for nutritious, functional, and sustainable protein ingredients of consistent quality that can be reliably delivered for their products. Singapore was the first market to grant Solein regulatory approval, but Solar Foods is also seeking authorisations in other markets across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factory 01 is Solar Foods\u2019 first commercial production facility and will begin to produce Solein in 2024 in Vantaa, Finland. Factory 01 will take Solein production to commercial scale. Solar Foods has plans to expand its network of production facilities in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n
