Under the terms of the agreement, CK Nutritional Ingredients has been granted exclusive responsibility in Canada for sales, marketing and distribution of Nut-trition’s innovative Almond Bran ingredient.
11 Nov 2010 --- Toronto, Canada-based CK Nutritional Ingredients and Hughson, California-based Nut-trition, Inc. have announced the execution of an exclusive sales, marketing and distribution agreement covering the Canadian food, beverage, dietary supplement and natural health products market.
Under the terms of the agreement, CK Nutritional Ingredients has been granted exclusive responsibility in Canada for sales, marketing and distribution of Nut-trition’s innovative Almond Bran ingredient. Using proprietary technology, Nut-trition has successfully converted dried almond skins – recovered from the almond blanching process – into a high-value food ingredient that can be incorporated into bakery products, nutrition bars, cereals, fermented dairy products, nutritional products and more. Almond bran is a natural prebiotic that provides a unique source of bioactive and bioavailable antioxidants, demonstrating antioxidant capacity that is 13 times greater than that of almonds alone. It is also an excellent source of dietary fiber, essential minerals and natural almond sterols, and contributes a distinctive flavor and color to food products.
“We are delighted to bring Nut-trition’s Almond Bran ingredient to the Canadian market" remarks Michael Chernyak, Managing Director of CK Nutritional Ingredients. “Almond Bran will make it possible for our customers to fortify their products with a highly unique and nutrient-dense ingredient, in a cost-effective manner and utilizing a source that is already perceived by consumers as decidedly healthful. We anticipate a great deal of interest in this ingredient and we are thankful to Nut-trition for this opportunity.”
