MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Ardent Mills has introduced Ardent Mills Egg Replace to the Canadian market. The company designed this cost-effective solution to help alleviate supply-chain challenges while also benefitting customers through new market growth opportunities and the ability to meet evolving consumer preferences for quality ingredients and great taste.
With the cost of eggs remaining high and relatively volatile in Canada due to a variety of factors, Egg Replace provides a solution to help shield bakeries, food manufacturers, and foodservice establishments from the financial impact. Egg Replace is designed for ease of use, optimal taste and function, long-term cost efficiency and supply stability. It is composed of three ingredients and serves as a 1:1 replacement for traditional, dried whole eggs and can cut down on use by up to 100 per cent depending on application — offering significant ingredient cost savings without compromising on taste, texture or functionality.
Egg Replace is chickpea-based, gluten-free, plant-based, and contains no major food allergens, soy ingredients, colour or flavour additives, allowing bakers to meet consumer demand for increased options for alternative diets.
The launch of Egg Replace follows a series of recent Ardent Mills innovations – including gluten-free flour blends and a line of keto-friendly flour blends. This reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to transforming how the world is nourished and providing solutions that drive emerging nutrition and innovation across plant-based ingredients.
Egg Replace will be available for purchase directly from Ardent Mills Canada and through major bakery and foodservice distributors across Canada.
