New York City-based Good Catch Foods has chosen Algarithm, a Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada-headquartered supplier of algae-based oils, to supply omega-3 additives for its line of fishless seafood.
Good Catch, which recently scored USD 8.7 million (EUR 7.5 million) in funding to allow it to begin distribution of its plant-based tuna pouches and other products in North America, announced its partnership with Algarithm that will see the company’s AlphaMega3 algal DHA oil used in Good Catch products including its Crab-free Cakes, Fish-free Tuna, Fish-free Sliders, and Fish-free Burgers.
"We're creating great-tasting, healthy, DHA-rich vegan seafood by using cutting-edge technology combined with finest plant-based ingredients, so we thank our friends at Algarithm for helping our chefs make culinary magic happen with their wild-sourced algal DHA oil," Good Catch co-founder Eric Schnell said.
Each of Good Catch’s products will contain 350 milligrams of AlphaMega 3 oil, the companies said in a press release.
"With a mission to promote plant-based diets to improve health, save lives, and protect the ecology of our oceans, Good Catch is taking the natural foods industry by storm with their nutritious and delicious chef-mastered fishless seafood products," says Algarithm co-founder and managing director, Ben Kelly. "Algarithm is proud to have been selected to play a part in their success."
Algarithm recently released two new DHA oil concentrates for the dietary supplement, food, and beverage industries: AlphaMega3 530, containing 530mg/g DHA, and AlphaMega3 700, containing 700mg/g DHA. The company claims both products are virtually tasteless and odorless.
