Cargill's AdvantaSoy™ Complete™ Is Added to Nationally Distributed Bread
AdvantaSoy™ Complete™ adds to functional bread's nutritional benefits
MINNEAPOLIS - May 6, 2002 - Cargill Health & Food Technologies today announced the use of AdvantaSoy™ Complete™ soy isoflavones by its Minneapolis-neighbor, French Meadow Bakery in a new product. Organic Men's Bread™, the latest addition to French Meadow Bakery's functional bread line, relies on AdvantaSoy™ Complete™ soy isoflavones to expand the bread's nutritional benefits. Preliminary studies suggest soy isoflavones may help to promote prostate health and maintain bone density.
AdvantaSoy™ Complete™ is a natural combination of soy protein and soy isoflavones produced using a solvent-free manufacturing process. AdvantaSoy™ Complete™ contains 2.25% concentration of isoflavones. Cargill Health & Food Technologies offers identity tracking with the AdvantaSoy™ product line, which allows Cargill's customers to know exactly from which farming region the soybeans are harvested.
"We're very excited to be a part of French Meadow Bakery's functional bread line project," said Ted Ziemann, president, Cargill Health & Food Technologies. "We feel the current project with French Meadow Bakery really sets the standard for collaboration to bring new functional food products to companies."
Organic Men's Bread™ contains soy isoflavones, is high in protein and fiber, is made without yeast and sweeteners, and is specially developed for the health needs of men of all ages. Like the highly successful Organic Woman's BreadŽ, the ingredients are from organic and non-genetically modified sources. The bread also contains a variety of desirable ingredients, such as: flaxseed, pumpkin seed, sprouted fava beans, saw palmetto and ginseng.
