Thanks to Anay Mridul & Green Queen Media for covering the latest on our expanded footprint and mission to scale production of sustainable foods! 💚
🍫🏭💰 USDA LOANS $25M FOR VOYAGE FOODS' COCOA-FREE CHOCOLATE FACTORY Recognising the vulnerability of the global cocoa supply, USDA has invested around $25M to help California’s Voyage Foods build a large factory for cocoa-free chocolate products. The 284,000 sq ft facility in Mason, Ohio will have the capacity to produce 10,000 tonnes of cocoa-free chocolate annually, alongside the startup’s nut-free spreads and beanless coffee. The factory is also being supported by the $52M Series A+ round Voyage Foods closed in May. “We’re on track for the facility construction and equipment installation to be complete by the end of 2024,” Voyage Foods founder and CEO Adam Maxwell tells Green Queen. It is expected to be operational in the new year. For its cocoa-free innovations, Voyage Foods uses a proprietary technology to turn a base of grape seeds, sunflower protein, RSPO-certified palm oil and shea kernel oil into a chocolate-like compound product. An independent life-cycle assessment has found that its non-dairy milk chocolate produces 84% fewer emissions compared to conventional options, while its semi-sweet chocolate reduces GHG emissions by 81%. They also use 99% less water to produce. Other companies in the cocoa-free chocolate sector include Win-Win, Planet A Foods, Foreverland Food and NuKoKo.

The scariest thing this spooky season? 👻 The thought of getting less of your favorite chocolate candy this Halloween. With the price of cocoa continuing to climb, chocolate manufacturers are having to scale back on their classic cocoa-filled treats. With our Cocoa-Free Chocolate, you can continue enjoying all the best sweet treats – in a way that's more affordable, even more sustainable and just as delicious. https://lnkd.in/gfak8sYn #supplychain #chocolateindustry #sustainability #foodtech

Marking the next chapter in Voyage's growth, we're excited to announce the expansion of our operations with a new manufacturing facility based in Ohio. Funded in part by a $25 million loan from the USDA, this new facility will allow us to produce our Cocoa-Free Chocolate 🍫 at scale, further supporting our partnership with Cargill to bring even more sustainable ingredients to food manufacturers across the globe. "In the near term, [this expansion enables us to grow] into less of a startup and more of a self-sufficient, profitable food manufacturing company," says our Founder & CEO Adam Maxwell. Huge thanks to Richard Collings & Axios for covering the news of our continued growth! https://bit.ly/3BFng1S
