VANCOUVER, BC and KIBBUTZ YIFAT, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / September 1, 2022 / Beyond Oil Ltd. (CSE:BOIL) ("Beyond Oil" or the "Company"), a food-tech innovation company extending the life of frying oil, reducing costs and waste, is pleased to announce that it has signed its first commercial sales agreement with a franchisee of Café Café, a leading food service chain in Israel (the "Café Café").
Café Café is the largest coffee chain in Israel with more than 200 locations across the country. The Beyond Oil product will initially be sold to 4 or 5 outlets of the chain in the North of Israel, followed by expansion to other outlets throughout Israel. Under the terms of the agreement, Beyond Oil will supply the Café Café franchisee with product, in quantities requested by the franchisee, on an ongoing basis.
"After seeing the results in my own restaurants, I can say that this product is outstanding," said Café Café Restaurant Owner, Itamar Sharabi. "I'm very honored to be the first franchisee in Israel to adopt this innovative solution which will help us continue to provide our customers with tastier and healthier food."
"This is a defining moment for Beyond Oil as the Company moves to the next and most important level in the business, which is commercial sales," said Dr. Tamir Gedo, CEO of Beyond Oil. "The Israeli market is innovative, an early adopter, and is ready for our disruptive solution. Restaurant owners are searching for new ways to cut operational costs and consumers are seeking a low-cost alternative while incorporating healthier menu options. These behaviors combined have the potential to create a significant shift towards a healthier and more sustainable future in the Israeli food service market."
In 2016, Israel's food service sector was valued at approximately $6.6 billion, with almost 13,000 consumer food service businesses in 20201. In recent years, the industry has experienced an increase in the price of raw materials, electricity, water, taxes, and manpower, forcing many food service chains and restaurants to seek out effective ways to reduce costs and stay profitable. Although employment and salaries have risen, price levels for menu items across Israel remain among the highest in the OECD, and together with the country's high cost of living, is leading consumers toward a cost-conscious food-service marketplace. As a result, today, there is a shift in consumer preferences towards a new state of mind around Israelis' food consumption habits, "they would rather cook for us than we cook for ourselves". This mindset is reflected in the rate of household expenses for food services which stands at 5.3% and is ranked 26th among the OECD countries2.
Product Highlights
Frying Oils Recovery: Extensive testing indicates that Beyond Oil's product extends the usable life of frying oil, improves product quality, and reduces frying oil costs. As a preferential adsorbent, the product reduces soluble impurities formed during the frying process that causes damaging free fatty acids ("FFA")and polar compound formation, undesirable odors, off-flavors, and off-colors. The product is simple to integrate into existing daily filtration processes.
One-of-a-Kind: To the Company's knowledge, Beyond Oil has developed a unique solution that can eliminate FFA almost completely without damaging oil quality. This solution compares to magnesium-based filter powders that have existed for years that can only marginally reduce FFA levels.
Patent Protected: The Company has a portfolio of registered and patent pending solutions that extend the shelf-life of produced and used premium oils.
Bottom-Line Savings: Beyond Oil's unique value proposition is that it could dramatically lower costs for quick service restaurants by significantly extending the useful life of the oil while retaining the original taste profile.
Distribution Ready: The Company received a non-objection letter from the US Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") in March 2022, on the basis that all the Beyond Oil product ingredients meet food-grade specifications of the FDA. In May 2022, Beyond Oil received a non-objection letter from Health Canada and a National Sanitation Foundation certification.
How Our Product Works
The Beyond Oil solution integrates with existing processes as a processing aid or as a filter aid. The process includes passive microfiltration designed to remove all components through a combination of active filtration by the powder and passive filtration by a microfiltration paper. This process ensures no residue is left in the oil while maximizing the efficiency of removing other degradation particles.
