Upcycled Foods Inc, previously known as ReGrained, is a producer of upcycled snacks (such as bars and puffs) from the grain waste originating from beer production. The company says that its bars and puffs include a super grain that is high in protein, dietary fiber, and micronutrients, as well as lower in sugar and calories than traditional wheat flour. The ReGrained snack bars come in flavors such as Honey Cinnamon, Chocolate Coffee Stout, and Blueberry Sunflower Saison. As of 2022, the company expanded its product portfolio to include upcycled ingredients such as an arabica coffee leaf ingredient and a cacao fruit syrup. It has also partnered with food companies such as pasta maker Barilla to develop upcycled food products using its ingredients.
In June 2022, Upcycled Foods launched an upcycled protein crisp jointly developed with Kerry, an Irish ingredient and food company. In April 2023, it co-developed an upcycled bread line f or Kroger's private label brand, Simple Truth. In addition, ReGrained bars were sold at over 1,000 stores around the US and online (as of September 2018).
Upcycled Foods further aims to expand to other countries, such as Japan. In March 2021, the company partnered with Oisix, a Japanese food technology corporate venture, to commercialize new upcycled ingredients and introduce them into the Japanese market. In June 2021, the company reported that it received certification from the Upcycled Food Association founded by upcycled food companies, including ReGrained, to create a certified standard for upcycled food products); this makes it the first company to have its upcycled ingredients certified.
