Global product development company Griffith Foods announced the launch of Versaterra, a new plant-based protein that meets clean-label and sustainable goals in the food industry.
According to the company’s press release, Versaterra is a nutrient-dense protein that performs well across formats and cuisines. The ingredient has a neutral flavor and “satisfying texture” and is compatible with other Griffith Foods flavor solutions. Further, Versaterra is non-GMO compliant, allergen-friendly, shelf-stable and free of saturated fat.
“The paunch of Versaterra represents an important step forward for Griffith Foods and our partners,” said vice president of marketing Rochelle Schaetzl. “Versaterra isn’t just a product; it’s a commitment to developing solutions that deliver on consumer expectations while supporting the long-term health of people and the planet. With Versaterra, Griffith Foods opens a new chapter in sustainable protein innovation where care, creativity and culinary excellence converse to shape the future of food.”
Versaterra is made from plant-based ingredients like pulses and vegetables recognized for improving soil health and using less water and energy. Company officials hope this will position the new ingredient as a more sustainable choice for food product developers.
