Canadian plant-based food and ingredients company, Global Food and Ingredients, has acquired Your Fitness Dish.
Operating under the brand YoFiit, Your Fitness Dish is a plant-based milk and snack food company. Its YoFiit portfolio includes a high-protein plant-based milk made with chickpeas, pea protein and flax oil, as well as a range of high-protein, low-sugar snack bars and granola products made from plants.
“We are very pleased to accelerate our plans to expand into the high-growth plant-based milk and snack food segments through this acquisition,” said David Hanna, Global Food and Ingredients’ CEO. “YoFiit has developed a loyal and engaged customer group in Canada due to the unique health proposition of its product offering, and we look forward to implementing a US market launch in the next few months.”
According to GFI, YoFiit is also engaged in a research and development project to expand its range with yogurt and egg alternatives, as well as additional plant-based milk products. A government grant of CAD 1.2 million (approx. $942,389) has been secured for the project.
YoFiit’s founder, Marie Amazan, added: “YoFiit has major expansion plans into the US market and across Canada, while also developing new plant-based products that will fill the nutrition and taste gaps in the marketplace. We are excited to join GFI to accelerate these plans and use GFI’s platform to connect our plant-based ingredients needs right to the farm level.”
Amazan will continue as the company’s president, and she will manage the brand’s products and business development within the GFI group.
