Dubbed Solein, the proteins are manufactured by Solar Foods and replace dairy in the Traditional Flowering Mooncakes and Ice Cream Sandwiches. Ajinomoto plans to sell the two products for a limited time under its new Atlr.72 brand. Availability has been timed to coincide with Singapore’s Mid-Autumn Festival, an event in which mooncakes are a traditional gift to friends and family.
“With the new [Atlr.72] brand, Ajinomoto proposes a new food lifestyle that fosters a respect for nature in today’s consumers. Solar Foods is proud to be supporting this ambition, and we share the vision for what the future of food will be,” Solar Foods co-founder and CEO Pasi Vainikka told Green Queen.
