Cargill has announced a commercial partnership with Voyage Foods. This innovative start-up offers a patented technology for replicating favorite foods in ways that are particularly more sustainable and delicious, such as chocolate and nut spreads without their traditional ingredients – cocoa, peanuts & hazelnuts.
Cargill is the exclusive B2B global distributor for Voyage Foods’ cocoa alternative confectionery and spreads with no nuts nor dairy used in the recipe formulation.
Voyage Foods’ new innovative product line will further expand Cargill’s comprehensive portfolio for indulgence that includes chocolate, coatings and fillings, starches & sweeteners, and oils & fats for bakery, ice cream and chocolate confectionery categories. This solution offers an option for customers who are looking for increased flexibility or alternatives to cocoa- or nut- based products.

Thanks to Voyage Foods’ patented technology, this cocoa alternative confectionery delivers a great sensorial experience with even more sustainable claims* including up to 67% reduction in carbon footprint, 90% lower land-use-related impacts and 95% lower water footprint than conventional chocolate.* **
These confectionery solutions are also vegan, label-friendly, and produced with no nut or dairy allergens used in the recipe formulation.
US-based Voyage Foods was founded in 2021 on the idea that good food should be particularly more sustainable, and delicious. Only a year after Voyage’s founding, the team began scaling its products for commercialization across retail, foodservice & B2B channels and continued developing their proprietary food technology.
This partnership with Voyage Foods is one example of how Cargill is developing, a range of future-proof products to meet pressing consumer demands and market regulations when it comes to even more sustainable options.
