For better plant protein
We believe that consumers and formulators alike deserve high quality plant protein. So, we’re uprooting the food and beverage industry’s perception of plant-based proteins by producing ingredients that exceed standards for purity, solubility, taste, and more.
Committed to solving functional challenges and dedicated to overcoming taste and mouthfeel issues, we’re delivering a better plant protein, but we’re not stopping there.
We’re delivering a better way to experience the plant-based world.
From dairy alternatives to free-from supplements, to functional snacks, beverages, foods, and beyond – our researchers and developers at Merit see countless application possibilities and treat each one as an opportunity to serve our partners and their customers better.
At Merit Functional Foods, we’re making plant protein, pure and simple.
