Migros and InnovoPro debut chickpea-based yogurt alternative

Swiss retailer Migros has launched a line of dairy-free yogurt that incorporate InnovoPro’s CP Pro 70 chickpea protein. The product line offers consumers an alternative to dairy yogurts, without compromising on taste.

Both companies are working to bring additional yogurt lines in several European countries later this year.

“Our customers are looking for high quality, innovative, healthy and tasty options. The collaboration with InnovoPro on the chickpea protein CP Pro 70 opens doors for us to create new solutions for unmet consumer needs,” explained Matthew Robin, CEO of ELSA-Mifroma, which is in the Migros Group.

Taly Nechushtan, CEO of InnovoPro, told FoodIngredientsFirst, “Consumers recognize chickpeas as a non-allergenic, taste-neutral superfood, rich in nutritionally important unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic and oleic acids, and containing significant amounts of essential amino acids.”

“The collaboration with Migros is a significant milestone for InnovoPro in Europe,” Nechushtan added. “We believe that InnovoPro will lead the new alternative protein category and introduce products with added health and nutritional values to customers. As part of our sustainable growth strategy, we are exploring production collaboration options for our protein, expanding our EU supply chain.”
