Our contribution to greater sustainability – from the end of 2023, we will be producing meat substitute products from brewer's grains at our brewery in Winterthur.
Circular Food Solutions Switzerland AG and the brewery Chopfab Boxer AG produce the next generation of meat substitutes from Swiss raw materials in Winterthur. From brewer's grains, which are produced during brewing, unique tasting food products are created in an innovative process with existing and newly registered patents. The world's most advanced facility for upcycling spent grain is being developed on the Chopfab brewery site with a total investment of over CHF 5 million.
From the end of 2023, Circular Food Solutions Switzerland AG will produce a high-quality Swiss meat substitute product together with the Chopfab Boxer AG brewery in Winterthur. Instead of using the brewery's by-products as animal feed as in the past, this new development will make a protein-rich by-product available to human nutrition for the first time. The brewer's spent grain is the main ingredient of the meat substitute product and comes entirely from Switzerland. The Chopfab brewery uses brewing malt produced from local barley in the Swiss malting plant. This process keeps valuable resources in the cycle. By saving transport routes, land use and greenhouse gas emissions, this tasty meat alternative contributes to a more sustainable diet.
