Leading upcycled food company partners with Upcycled Food Association & Planet FWD to certify most sustainable brownie mix on shelf
OAKLAND, CA – June 23, 2021 – Renewal Mill launches its best-selling Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix this month at Whole Foods after the product was officially deemed Upcycled Certified™ by the Upcycled Food Association last week.
With this third-party verification, the Upcycled Food Association and its certifying body Where Food Comes From recognized that Renewal Mill’s upcycled ingredients and products are produced “using verifiable supply chains and have a positive impact on the environment.”
“This opens a whole new level of consumer trust,” said CEO Claire Schlemme. “Given its role in accelerating adoption of the Non-GMO Project certification, Whole Foods Market is the perfect launching pad for newly Upcycled Certified™ products like our Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix.”
But, food waste reduction is only one piece of the company’s climate-friendly commitment. Renewal Mill has also been working with Planet FWD, a revolutionary software solution helping food companies reduce the cost and complexity of bringing carbon neutral products to market. “We’re proud to offer the first 100% carbon neutral brownie mix,” said Schlemme. “It’s also vegan, Certified Plastic Negative, uses FairTrade cocoa, and supports 1% for the Planet. And, of course, the brownies taste incredible! It’s sustainable indulgence at its finest.”
